Abstract:
:Gough, Michael (Brown University, Providence, R.I.), and Seymour Lederberg. Methylated bases in the host-modified deoxyribonucleic acid of Escherichia coli and bacteriophage lambda. J. Bacteriol. 91:1460-1468. 1966.-The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from strains of Escherichia coli and phage lambda was examined to determine whether the types or amounts of methionine-derived methylated bases present correlated with the host-specific modification of that DNA. The DNA of strain C600 (which has K-12 modification specificity) and of a modificationless mutant of C600 are similar in their content of 5-methylcytosine and 6-methylaminopurine. Strains Bc251 and its P1-lysogen differ in P1-controlled specificity, but they have the same content of 6-methylaminopurine, and both lack 5-methylcytosine in their DNA. Phage lambda contains the same methylated bases as its host of origin, but in reduced amounts and in different proportions. Although minor amounts of these methylated bases may have importance as a result of their location, the presence of the majority of these methylated bases is irrelevant to the specificity of host modification of DNA.
