Disruption of the target G-C base-pair by the HhaI methyltransferase

Klimasauskas, S., Roberts, R. J. (May 1995) Disruption of the target G-C base-pair by the HhaI methyltransferase. Gene, 157 (1-2). pp. 163-4. ISSN 0378-1119 (Print)

Abstract

HhaI MTase binds DNA duplexes containing mismatches at the target base position with higher affinity than that observed for the canonical substrate. The stability of these MTase-DNA complexes inversely correlates with the strength of the base pair that is disrupted upon interaction. This finding may offer a general tool to detect other enzymes that flip bases out of the DNA helix.
