In this article, the authors have incorrectly designated three DNA methyltransferases in Streptococcus pneumoniae strain ST556, as shown in Table 1. The correct nomenclatures should be:
- M. Spn556I (MYY0859; type II R-M system recognizing TCTAGA)
- M. Spn556II (MYY0571; type I R-M system recognizing AAG(N)8TTYG)
- M. Spn556III (MYY1312; type I R-M system recognizing TGA(N)7TATC).
Table 1. Changes in nomenclature.
Old name* | New name* |
---|---|
M. Spn556IV | M. Spn556I |
M. Spn556III | M. Spn556II |
M. Spn556V | M. Spn556III |
*Changes are shown in bold.
In addition, the recognition sequence of the type I system encoded by MYY570-MMY572 in Figure 3A should be AAG(N)8TTYG.
