Cytosine-specific type II DNA methyltransferases. A conserved enzyme core with variable target-recognizing domains

Comparisons of the amino acid sequences of m5C DNA methyltransferases (Mtases) from 11 prokaryotes and one eukaryote reveal a very similar organization. Among all the enzymes one can distinguish highly conserved "core" sequences and "variable" regions. The core sequences apparent...
