Characterization of a triad of genes in cyanophage S-2L sufficient to replace adenine by 2-aminoadenine in bacterial DNA

The cyanophage S-2L incorporates 2-aminoadenine (Z) instead of adenine into its DNA, which still pairs with thymine forming a triple hydrogen bond. Here, the authors identify a third gene mazZ located between purZ and datZ that is required for 2-aminoadenine biosynthesis and determine the crystal st...
