Growth Phase-Dependent Regulation of Vsr Endonuclease May Contribute to 5-Methylcytosine Mutational Hot Spots in Escherichia coli

Using rabbit polyclonal antibodies, we have shown that the Dcm cytosine methylase of Escherichia coli is maintained at a constant level during cell growth, while Vsr endonuclease levels are growth phase dependent. Decreased production of Vsr relative to Dcm during the log phase may contribute substa...
