Phase variation (random ON/OFF switching) of gene expression is a common feature of host-adapted pathogenic bacteria. Phase variably expressed N6-adenine DNA methyltransferases (Mod) alter global methylation patterns resulting in changes in gene expression. These systems constitute phase vari-able regulons called phasevarions. Neisseria menin-gitidis phasevarions regulate genes including viru-lence factors and vaccine candidates, and alter phe-notypes including antibiotic resistance. The target site recognized by these Type III N6-adenine DNA methyltransferases is not known. Single molecule, real-time (SMRT) methylome analysis was used to identify the recognition site for three key N. menin-gitidis methyltransferases: ModA11 (exemplified by...
