Extreme C-to-A Hypermutation at a Site of Cytosine-N4 Methylation

Methylation of cytosine in DNA at position C5 increases the rate of C→T mutations in bacteria and eukaryotes. Methylation at the N4 position, employed by some restriction-modification systems, is not known to increase the mutation rate. Here, I report that a Salmonella enterica Type III restriction-...
