A genetic dissection of the LlaJI restriction cassette reveals insights on a novel bacteriophage resistance system

BACKGROUND: Restriction/modification systems provide the dual function of protecting host DNA against restriction by methylation of appropriate bases within their recognition sequences, and restriction of foreign invading un-methylated DNA, such as promiscuous plasmids or infecting bacteriphage.
