Restriction-modification (R-M) systems protect a bacterial cell against invasion of foreign DNA by endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA that lacks a site specific modification. The R-M system is a complex containing three polypeptides: M (this family), S (Pfam:PF01420), and R [1]. This family consists of N-6 adenine-specific DNA methylase EC:2.1.1.72 from Type I and Type IC restriction systems. These methylases have the same sequence specificity as their corresponding restriction enzymes. [1]. 9440532. A type IC restriction-modification system in Lactococcus lactis..
