| restriction |
A system composed of a restriction endonuclease and a methylase that share the same recognition sequence. The methylase modifies the host DNA, protecting it from the action of the restriction endonuclease, which cleaves unmodified (foreign) DNA. The methylase and endonuclease genes are usually adjacent to each other on the host DNA. Occasionally a third open reading frame is also present, believed to code for a "C", or control, protein for endonuclease expression.
