Description:
Article Restriction enzymes are generally thought to act as sequence-specific endonucleases. Here Miyazono et al. demonstrate that one of these enzymes, R.PabI, is instead an adenine DNA glycosylase, expanding the known mechanisms by which a restriction-modification system can operate.
