Modeling C-dependent RM systems. (A) Core circuit, generalized for C-dependent systems. In this initial model, C and R are combined (as R) since, in virtually all known C-dependent systems, they are cotranscribed. Chromosomal DNA is represented as P (Protectively methylated) U (Unprotected) and Q (cleaved). Other variables are defined on the left of the figure. N represents nucleotide pools (NTPs and dNTPs, as appropriate), whereas A represents aminoacyl-tRNA pools. (B, C) Simulations were carried out at two different fixed values of phi (gene copy number): B = 11 copies, C = 8 copies.
