Mobility of DNA sequence recognition domains in DNA methyltransferases suggests epigenetics-driven adaptive evolution

DNA methylation is one of the best studied epigenetic modifications observed in prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes. It affects nearby gene expression. Most DNA methylation reactions in prokaryotes are catalyzed by a DNA methyltransferase, the modification enzyme of a restriction-modification (RM) sys...
