Registry Code Type Sequence Description
Coding RcsB is a receiver protein in a two component phosphorelay system, which acts as a positive regulator of a number of genes including capsule genes responsible for colanic acid production. This is via the activation of the ugd/cps operon which is required for capsule synthesis.
Coding Dam (DNA Adenine Methylase) The methylase encoded by the dam gene ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_(methylase) Dam methylase]) transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to the N6 position of the adenine residues in the sequence GATC. When methylation occurs in the recognition site of a particular group of restriction endonuclease including MboI, this protects the DNA from cleavage.
