Protein Family Models

Type IIL Restriction-Modification Enzyme MmeI is a large enzyme that integrates DNA recognition and methyltransferase and endonuclease activities within the same polypeptide [2, 3, 4]. MmeI is composed of five domains. An N-terminal endonuclease domain (residues 1-155), connects to a DNA-methyltransferase domain (MTase, residues 301-320) via a multi-helical spacer (residues 156-300). These are followed by the target recognition domain (TRD, residues 621-825), and a final C-terminal helical bundle (residues 826-919) [1]. The DNA is embedded between the TRD and the MTase domain. The TRD makes contacts to the DNA bases primarily in the major groove, while the MTase domain makes several contacts to the DNA in the minor groove [1]. This domain corresponds to the DNA-methyltransferase. Structurally, it consists of a twisted beta-sheet flanked by alpha-helices on both sides. Paper describing PDB structure 5hr4. [1]. 27082731.

This protein, PglX, is a site-specific DNA methyltransferase associated BREX (bacteriophage exclusion) type 1 systems. The phage resistance appears not to be through restriction-modification, as phage DNA appears not to get degraded, but it does manage to inhibit phage replication.
