Dam (methylase)
DNA adenine methylase, (Dam) (also site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific), , ''modification methylase'', ''restriction-modification system'') is an enzyme that adds a methyl group to the adenine of the sequence 5'-GATC-3' in newly synthesized DNA. Immediately after DNA synthesis, the daughter strand remains unmethylated for a short time. It is an orphan methyltransferase that is not part of a restriction-modification system and regulates gene expression. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction : S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA adenine \rightleftharpoons S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA 6-methylaminopurine This is a large group of enzymes unique to prokaryotes and bacteriophages. 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 bi ...
