Structural and functional diversity among Type III restriction-modification systems that confer host DNA protection via methylation of the N4 atom of cytosine.

We report a new subgroup of Type III Restriction-Modification systems that use m4C methylation for host protection. Recognition specificities for six such systems, each recognizing a novel motif, have been determined using single molecule real-time DNA sequencing. In contrast to all previously chara...
