Popis: M · Fok I, a type-IIS modification enzyme from Flavobacterium okeanokoites , was purified, and its activity was characterized in vitro. The enzyme was found to be a DNA-adenine methyltransferase and to methylate both strands of the asymmetric Fok I recognition sequence: M · Fok I does not methylate single-stranded DNA, nor does it methylate double-stranded DNA at sequences other than Fok I sites.
