Dam

Involved in methylating DNA, overexpression causes 6.4 * 10^-4 /// 6.4 * 10^4 mutation rate increase, mostly catalyzing transversions.

  • Summary: Added information collated from existing scientific studies

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 [5]
