| - | '''DNA adenine methylase''' (DAM) adds a methyl group to adenines in the DNA sequence GATC. The daughter strand remains unmethylated for a short while during which mismatch repair of DNA can take place. DAM has a role in regulation of replication by delaying the availability of the origin of replication to activation during the cell cycle. The origin of replication in E. coli contains 11 GATC sequences. In E. coli, downstream GATC sequences are methylated to promote RNA transcription. DAM uses S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy, SAH) as methyl donor.<ref>PMID:15802246</ref> | + | '''DNA adenine methylase''' (DAM) adds a methyl group to adenines in the DNA sequence GATC.
