RT   molecular cloning and characterization of its genes.";
RL   Submitted (OCT-1991) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence
CC       CTCGAG, causes specific methylation on A-5 on both strands, and
CC       protects the DNA from cleavage by the AbrI endonuclease
CC       (Potential).
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA adenine = S-
CC       adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA 6-methylaminopurine.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the N4/N6-methyltransferase family.
