Abstract
The methylation of DNA bases plays an important role in numerous biological processes including development, gene expression, and DNA replication. Salmonella is an important foodborne pathogen, and methylation in Salmonella is implicated in virulence. Using single molecule real-time (SMRT) DNA-sequencing, we sequenced and assembled the complete genomes of eleven Salmonella enterica isolates from nine different serovars, and analysed the whole-genome methylation patterns of each genome. We describe 16 distinct N6-methyladenine (m6A) methylated motifs, one N4-methylcytosine (m4C) motif, and one combined m6A-m4C motif. Eight of these motifs are novel, i.e., they have not been previously described. We also identified the methyltransferases (MTases) associated with 13 of the motifs. Some motifs are conserved across all Salmonella serovars tested, while others were found only in a subset of serovars. Eight of the nine serovars contained a unique methylated motif that was not found in any other serovar (most of these motifs were part of Type I restriction modification systems), indicating the high diversity of methylation patterns present in Salmonella.

Abstract
RNA/DNA hybrid duplexes regularly occur in nature, for example in transcriptional R loops. Their susceptibility to modification by DNA-specific or RNA-specific enzymes is, thus, a biologically relevant question, which, in addition, has possible biotechnological implications. In this study, we investigated the activity of four isospecific DNA methyltransferases (M.EcoVIII, M.LlaCI, M.HindIII, M.BstZ1II) toward an RNA/DNA duplex carrying one 5'-AAGCUU-3'/3'-TTCGAA-5' target sequence. The analyzed enzymes belong to the β-group of adenine N6-methyltransferases and recognize the palindromic DNA sequence 5'-AAGCTT-3'/3'-TTCGAA-5'. Under standard conditions, none of these isospecific enzymes could detectibly methylate the RNA/DNA duplex. However, the addition of agents that generally relax specificity, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol, resulted in substantial methylation of the RNA/DNA duplex by M.EcoVIII and M.LlaCI. Only the DNA strand of the RNA/DNA duplex was methylated. The same was not observed for M.HindIII or M.BstZ1II. This is, to our knowledge, the first report that demonstrates such activity by prokaryotic DNA methyltransferases. Possible applications of these findings in a laboratory practice are also discussed.

Abstract
DNA methylation is the most frequent form of epigenetic modification in the cell, which involves gene regulation in eukaryotes and protection against restriction enzymes in prokaryotes. Even though many methyltransferases exclusively modify their cognate sites, there have been reports of those that exhibit promiscuity. Previous experimental approaches used to characterize these methyltransferases do not provide the exact concentration at which off-target methylation occurs. Here, we present the first reported fidelity index (FI) for a number of DNA methyltransferases. We define the FI as the ratio of the highest amount of methyltransferase that exhibits no star activity (off-target effects) to the lowest amount that exhibits complete modification of the cognate site. Of the methyltransferases assayed, M.MspI and M.AluI exhibited the highest fidelity of ≥250 and ≥500, respectively, and do not show star activity even at very high concentrations. In contrast, M.HaeIII, M.EcoKDam and M.BamHI have the lowest fidelity of 4, 4 and 2, respectively, and exhibit star activity at concentrations close to complete methylation of the cognate site. The fidelity indexes provide vital information on the usage of methyltransferases and are especially important in applications where site specific methylation is required.

Abstract
Restriction-modification (R-M) systems are ubiquitous and are often considered primitive immune systems in bacteria. Their diversity and prevalence across the prokaryotic kingdom are an indication of their success as a defense mechanism against invading genomes. However, their cellular defense function does not adequately explain the basis for their immaculate specificity in sequence recognition and nonuniform distribution, ranging from none to too many, in diverse species. The present review deals with new developments which provide insights into the roles of these enzymes in other aspects of cellular function. In this review, emphasis is placed on novel hypotheses and various findings that have not yet been dealt with in a critical review. Emerging studies indicate their role in various cellular processes other than host defense, virulence, and even controlling the rate of evolution of the organism. We also discuss how R-M systems could have successfully evolved and be involved in additional cellular portfolios, thereby increasing the relative fitness of their hosts in the population.

Abstract
DNA methylation is the most common form of DNA modification in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. We have applied the method of single-molecule, real-time (SMRT®) DNA sequencing that is capable of direct detection of modified bases at single-nucleotide resolution to characterize the specificity of several bacterial DNA methyltransferases (MTases). In addition to previously described SMRT sequencing of N6-methyladenine and 5-methylcytosine, we show that N4-methylcytosine also has a specific kinetic signature and is therefore identifiable using this approach. We demonstrate for all three prokaryotic methylation types that SMRT sequencing confirms the identity and position of the methylated base in cases where the MTase specificity was previously established by other methods. We then applied the method to determine the sequence context and methylated base identity for three MTases with unknown specificities. In addition, we also find evidence of unanticipated MTase promiscuity with some enzymes apparently also modifying sequences that are related, but not identical, to the cognate site.

Abstract
The primary target of SgrAI restriction endonuclease is a multiple sequence of the form 5'-CPu/CCGGPyG. Previous work had indicated that SgrAI must bind two recognition sites simultaneously for catalysis [Bilcock, D. T., Daniels, L. E., Bath, A. J. & Halford, S. E. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 36379-36386]. In the present study, SgrAI is shown to cleave not only its canonical sequences, but also the sequences 5'-CPuCCGGPy(A,T,C) and 5'-CPuCCGGGG, both referred to as secondary sequences. On plasmid pSK7, SgrAI cleaves secondary sites 26-fold slower than the canonical site. However, the same plasmid, but without the canonical site, is cleaved 200-fold slower. We show that DNA termini generated by cleaving the canonical site for SgrAI assist in the cleavage of secondary sites. The SgrAI-termini in cis with respect to secondary site are markedly preferred over those in trans. The SgrAI-termini provided in a form of oligonucleotide duplex are also shown to stimulate canonical site cleavage. At a 40-fold molar excess of the SgrAI-termini over substrate, the SgrAI specificity is shown to improve by two orders of magnitude, because of concurrent 10-fold increase in the cleavage of canonical site and 50-fold decrease in the cleavage of secondary sites. The unconventional reaction pathway by which SgrAI utilizes the self-generated DNA termini to cleave its DNA targets has not been observed hitherto among type II restriction endonucleases. Based on our work and previous reports, a pathway of DNA binding and cleavage by the SgrAI restriction endonuclease is proposed.

Abstract
Multicopy clones of Escherichia coli cytosine methyltransferases Dcm and EcoRII methylase (M. EcoRII) cause an approximately 50-fold increase in C --> T mutations at their canonical site of methylation, 5'-CmeCAGG (meC is 5-methylcytosine). These plasmids also cause transition mutations at the second cytosine in the sequences CCGGG at approximately 10-fold lower frequency. Similarly, M. HpaII was found to cause a significant increase in C --> T mutations at a CCAG site, in addition to causing mutations at its canonical site of methylation, CCGG. Using a plasmid that substantially overproduces M. EcoRII, in vivo methylation at CCSGG (S is C or G) and other non-canonical sites could be detected using a gel electrophoretic assay. There is a direct correlation between the level of M. EcoRII activity in cells, the extent of methylation at non-canonical sites and frequency of mutations at these same sites. Overproduction of M. EcoRII in cells also causes degradation of DNA and induction of the SOS response. In vitro, M. EcoRII methylates an oligonucleotide duplex containing a CCGGG site at a slow rate, suggesting that overproduction of the enzyme is essential for significant amounts of such methylation to occur. Together these results show that cytosine methyltransferases occasionally methylate cellular DNA at non-canonical sites and suggest that in E. coli, methylation-specific restriction systems and sequence specificity of the DNA mismatch correction systems may have evolved to accommodate this fact. These results also suggest that mutational effects of cytosine methyltransferases may be much broader than previously imagined.

Abstract
The bacteriophage T4 dam gene, encoding the Dam DNA [N6-adenine]methyltransferase (MTase), has been subcloned into the plasmid expression vector, pJW2. In this construct, designated pINT4dam, transcription is from the regulatable phage lambda pR and pL promoters, arranged in tandem. A two-step purification scheme using DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose columns in series, followed by hydroxyapatite chromatography, was developed to purify the enzyme to near homogeneity. The yield of purified protein was 2 mg/g of cell paste. The MTase has an s20,w of 3.0 S and a Stokes radius of 23 A and exists in solution as a monomer. The Km for the methyl donor, S-adenosylmethionine, is 0.1 x 10(-6) M, and the Km for substrate nonglucosylated, unmethylated T4 gt- dam DNA is 1.1 x 10(-12) M. The products of DNA methylation, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and methylated DNA, are competitive inhibitors of the reaction; Ki values of 2.4 x 10(-6) M and 4.6 x 10(-12) M, respectively, were observed. T4 Dam methylates the palindromic tetranucleotide, GATC, designated the canonical sequence. However, at high MTase:DNA ratios, T4 Dam can methylate some noncanonical sequences belonging to GAY (where Y represents cytosine or thymine).

Abstract
One popular recombinant DNA tool is the EcoRI endonuclease, which cleaves DNA at GAATTC sites and serves as a paradigm for sequence specific DNA-enzyme interactions. The recently revised X-ray crystal structure of an EcoRI-DNA complex reveals EcoRI employs novel DNA recognition motifs, a four alpha-helix bundle and two extended chains, which project into the major groove to contact substrate purines and pyrimidines. Interestingly, pyrimidine contacts had been predicted based on genetic and biochemical studies. Current work focuses on the EcoRI active site structure, enzyme and substrate conformational changes during catalysis, and host-restriction system interactions.

Abstract
The EcoRI restriction endonuclease is one of the most widely used tools for recombinant DNA manipulations. Because the EcoRI enzyme has been extremely well characterized biochemically and its structure is known at 3 A resolution as an enzyme-DNA complex, EcoRI also serves as a paradigm for other restriction enzymes and as an important model of DNA-protein interactions. To facilitate a genetic analysis of the EcoRI enzyme, we devised an in vivo DNA scission assay based on our finding that DNA double-strand breaks induce the Escherichia coli SOS response and thereby increase beta-galactosidase expression from SOS::lacZ gene fusions. By site-directed mutagenesis, 50 of 60 possible point mutations were generated at three amino acids (E144, R145, and R200) implicated in substrate recognition by the crystal structure. Although several of these mutant enzymes retain partial endonuclease activity, none are altered in substrate specificity in vivo or in vitro. These findings argue that, in addition to the hydrogen bond interactions revealed by the crystal structure, the EcoRI enzyme must make additional contacts to recognize its substrate.

Abstract
The list of published restriction endonucleases along with their substrates provides an excellent data base for the evaluation of the evolution and codification of the key elements for specific recognition sites on the DNA. In this paper the considerations will be limited to palindromic tetramer-, pentamer-, and hexamer-sequences. It is basically assumed that each base pair within these sequences has to be recognized by directionally unique bidentate hydrogen bonds either within the plane of the base pair or by bridging the appropriate H-bond donor/acceptor groups of the neighbouring bases of the same strand. Thus sequence specificity is mediated by twelve (eight) H-bonds, originating from the protein recognition modules. Besides a pronounced preference for GC base pairs expressed by their high frequency in the most abundant sequences, serving the need of maximal thermodynamic stability of the double helical substrates, it can also be shown that the stacking of consecutive bases within the recognition site sequences plays a major role in shaping the particular DNA/protein interface. Finally it will be demonstrated that the full set of sequences discussed in this paper can readily be derived by stepwise expanding the vocabulary of three simple tetrameric sequences by inserting single base pairs into the centre of a minimal sequence, thus creating all the published pentameric restriction sites, or by inserting/adding two GC base pairs in a palindromic way, thus creating the known multiplicity of hexameric sites.

Abstract
Type II DNA restriction and modification systems are ideally suited for analysis of mechanisms by which proteins specifically recognize unique DNA sequences. Each system is comprised of a unique DNA recognition site and two enzymes, which in those cases examined in detail, are comprised of distinct polypeptide chains. Thus, not only are the DNA substrates extremely well defined, but each system affords the opportunity to compare distinct proteins which interact with a common DNA sequence. This review will focus only on those Type II systems which have been examined in sufficient molecular detail to permit some insight into modes of specific DNA-protein interaction.
