title: Determination of methylation site of DNA-methyltransferase NlaX by a hybrid method.
abstract: Using a new method based on a combination of bisulfite reaction, the repair enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase, and synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides, the methylation site of DNA-methyltransferase NlaX (M.NlaX) from Neisseria lactamica was established to be the inner cytosine in the double-stranded pentanucleotide recognition sequence 5'-CCNGG-3' (where N = any nucleoside). 5-Methylcytosine (m5C) type modification by M-N1aX was confirmed by the use of oligonucleotide substrates that contain 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine.
