Site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific) (EC 2.1.1.72, modification methylase, restriction-modification system) is an enzyme.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA adenine [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA 6-methylaminopurine
This is a large group of enzymes.[4]
The E. coli DNA adenine methyltransferase enzyme (Dam), is widely used for the chromatin profiling technique, DamID. In which the Dam is fused to a DNA-binding protein of interest and expressed as a transgene in a genetically tractable model organism to identify protein binding sites.[5]
