title: Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding the DsaV methyltransferase.
abstract: A gene encoding the M.DsaV methyltransferase was cloned and characterized. The enzyme methylates the internal cytosines in the 5'-CCTGG recognition sequence, as determined by a novel rapid method employing 3H label and exonuclease III.
