Project description:5-methylcytosine is one of the major epigenetic modifications of DNA in living organisms. In bacteria, some species possess DNA methyltransferases that produce the cytosine modification in both strands or either strand of its target sequence. The purpose of this study is to characterize BatIM, the orphan cytosine methyltransferase coded on a prophage region of Bacillus anthracis.
