UniProt functional annotation for P05102

UniProt code: P05102.

Organism: Haemophilus parahaemolyticus.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pasteurellales; Pasteurellaceae; Haemophilus.
 
Function: This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence GCGC, causes specific methylation on C-2 on both strands, and protects the DNA from cleavage by the HhaI endonuclease.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a 2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a 5- methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13681, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11369, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11370, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:85452, ChEBI:CHEBI:85454; EC=2.1.1.37; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10018};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=69 nM for DNA {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7899082}; KM=15 nM for S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7899082}; Vmax=87.0 nmol/min/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7899082};
Subunit: Monomer.
Similarity: Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. C5-methyltransferase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU01016}.
