Introduction of cytosine-5 DNA methylation sensitizes cells to oxidative damage

Joanna Krwawicz, Caroline J. Sheeba, Katie Hains, Terry C. McMahon, Yimo Zhang, Skirmantas Kriaučionis, Peter Sarkies

This study shows that introducing 5mC into E. coli increases sensitivity to oxidative stress and alkylating agents due to reactive oxygen species and DNA damage.
