Cell death upon epigenetic genome methylation: a novel function of methyl-specific deoxyribonucleases

BACKGROUND: Alteration in epigenetic methylation can affect gene expression and other processes. In Prokaryota, DNA methyltransferase genes frequently move between genomes and present a potential threat. A methyl-specific deoxyribonuclease, McrBC, of Escherichia coli cuts invading methylated DNAs. H...
