| UniProt functional annotation for P04043 | |||
| UniProt code: P04043. |
| Organism: | Streptococcus pneumoniae. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus. | |
| Function: | This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence GATC, causes specific methylation on A-2 on both strands, and protects the DNA from cleavage by the DpnII endonuclease. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a 2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = an N(6)-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15197, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12418, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:12419, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:90615, ChEBI:CHEBI:90616; EC=2.1.1.72; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The DpnII restriction system has two different methylases. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the N(4)/N(6)-methyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
