The CcrM DNA methyltransferase is essential for viability, but it does not appear to be part of a DNA restriction-modification system. CcrM homologs are widespread in the alpha subdivision of gram-negative bacteria. We have amplified and sequenced a 258-bp region of the cerM gene from several of these bacteria, including Rhizobium meliloti, Brucella abortus, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Rhodobacter capsulatus. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that these proteins constitute a highly conserved DNA methyltransferase family. Isolation of the full-length ccrM genes from the aquatic bacterium C. crescentus, the soil bacterium R. meliloti, and the intracellular pathogen B. abortus showed that this sequence conservation extends over the entire protein. In at least two alpha subdivision bacteria, R. meliloti and C. crescentus, CcrM-mediated methylation has important cellular functions. In both organisms, CcrM is essential for viability. Overexpression of CcrM in either bacterium results in defects in cell division and cell morphology and in the initiation of DNA replication. Finally, the C. crescentus and R. meliloti ccrM genes are functionally interchangeable, as the complemented strains are viable and the chromosomes are methylated. Thus, in both R. meliloti and C. crescentus, CcrM methylation is an integral component of the cell cycle. We speculate that CcrM-mediated DNA methylation is likely to have similar roles among alpha subdivision bacteria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.179.18.5869-5877.1997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,10]],"date-time":"2016-11-10T15:12:20Z","timestamp":1478790740000},"page":"5869-5877","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":119,"title":["The CcrM DNA methyltransferase is widespread in the alpha subdivision of proteobacteria, and its essential functions are conserved in Rhizobium meliloti and Caulobacter crescentus"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"179","author":[{"given":"R","family":"Wright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Biology, Stanford University, California 94305-5427, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Stephens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Biology, Stanford University, California 94305-5427, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Shapiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Biology, Stanford University, California 94305-5427, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"p_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"586","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.160.2.586-590.1984","article-title":"DNA adenine methylation of GATC sequences appeared recently in the Escherichia coli lineage","volume":"160","author":"Barbeyron T.","year":"1984","unstructured":"Barbeyron , T. , K.
