dam causes DNA methylation within the sequence GATC, preventing cleavage by the MboI restriction endonuclease [1]
It is likely to act in postreplication mismatch repair [2] rather than as a member of a restriction modification system, despite sharing sequence specificity with several type II restriction methylases and endonucleases as part of the N(4)/N(6)-methyltransferase family [3]
Furthermore, it may also be involved in DNA replication [4]
Reaction
a 2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = an N6-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
