Among the various virulence factors produced by Aeromonas hydrophila, a type II secretion
system (T2SS)-secreted cytotoxic enterotoxin (Act) and the T3SS are crucial in the …

The entire double-stranded DNA genome of the Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
bacteriophage AaΦ23 was sequenced. Linear DNA contained in the phage particles is …

DNA adenine methyltransferase (DAM) plays critical roles in diverse biological pathways in
gram‐negative bacteria, and specifically in regulating the expression of virulence genes in …

Introduction: Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans has been implicated in the etiology of
aggressive periodontitis. In this study, we applied a novel nucleic acid amplification method …

Methylation of GATC sites in Escherichia coli by DNA adenine methyltransferase (EcoDam)
is essential for proper DNA replication timing, gene regulation, and mismatch repair. The low …

Escherichia coli DNA adenine methyltransferase (EcoDam) methylates the N-6 position of
the adenine in the sequence 5′-GATC-3′ and plays vital roles in gene regulation …

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is known to play a role in human inflammatory oral
diseases. The present study aimed to test whether GECs from different individuals show an …

DNA methylation is involved in diverse processes in bacteria, including maintenance of
genome integrity and regulation of gene expression. CcrM, the DNA methyltransferase …

Celeribacter marinus IMCC12053 from the Alphaproteobacterial group was isolated from a
marine environment. Single molecule real-time sequencing method (SMRT) was used to …

HemK, a universally conserved protein of unknown function, has high amino acid similarity
with DNA-(adenine-N6) methyltransferases (MTases). In the present study, we sequenced a …
