Structural highlights
FunctionMOM_BPMU Iron-binding protein that performs methylcarbamoylation of adenine using acetyl CoA (PubMed:32369169). This chemical modificaltion makes the viral DNA resistant to a variety of host type I and type II restriction enzymes by modifying approximately 15% of DNA adenine residues (PubMed:32369169). The modification called momylation changes adenine for N6-methylcarbamoyl adenine and occurs just before packaging (PubMed:1258376, PubMed:32369169). Target sequences are 5'-(C or G)-A-(Cor G)-N-(C or T)-3' (PubMed:1258376). Also usually modifies adenine residues in the host cellular DNA (PubMed:1258376).[1] [2] References
