The sequenced genome of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri revealed the presence of a Type III restriction-modification system (MmyCI). The methyltransferase (modification) subunit of MmyCI (M.MmyCI) was shown to recognize the sequence 5'-TGAG-3' and methylate the adenine. The coding region of the methyltransferase gene contains 12 consecutive AG dinucleotide repeats that result in a translational termination at a TAA codon immediately beyond the repeat region. This strain does not have MmyCI acti ...[more]
