摘要

Restriction-modification (RM) gene complexes, such as EcoRI, encode two enzymatic functions, restriction and rnodificatioa. A restriction enzyme will recognize a specific sequence in DNA and cut the DNA unless it is methylated by a cognate modification enzyme. RM systems will defend bacterial cells by attacking incoming foreign DNA. It is widely held that bacteria have evolved RM systems and maintain them in order to protect their genome from invasion by foreign DNA such as bacteriophages and plasmids. We found that a type II RM gene complex cannot be easily replaced by a competitor genetic element because cells that have lost the RM gene complex die through restriction enzyme attack on the chromosome. Prom this and other observations, we hypothesized that the relative frequency of RM gene complexes has increased through this post-segregational killing, in competitive exclusion, as well as through direct attack on invading DNA. The RM gene complexes are worth the name of selfish genes in the sense used in genetics and evolutionary biology.
