The transmissive plasmid IncI1 R64 contains the ardA gene encoding the ArdA antirestriction protein. The R64 ardA gene locating in the leading region of plasmid R64 has been cloned and their sequence has been determined. Antirestriction proteins belonging to the Ard family are specific inhibitors of type I restriction-modification enzymes. The IncI1 ColIb-P9 and R64 are closely related plasmids, and the latter specifies an ArdA homologue that is predicted to be 97.6% (162 residues from 166) identical at the amino acid sequence level with the ColIb = P9 equivalent. However, the R64 ArdA selectively inhibits the restriction activity of EcoKi enzyme leaving significant levels of modification activity under conditions in which restriction was almost completely prevented. The ColIb-P9 ArdA inhibits restriction endonuclease and methyltransferase activities simultaneously. It is hypothesized that the ArdA protein forms two complexes with the type I restriction-modification enzyme (R2M2S): (1) with a specific region in the S subunit involved in contact with the sK site in DNA; and (2) with nonspecific region in the R subunit involved in DNA translocation and degradation by restriction endonuclease. The association of the ColIb-P9 ArdA with the specific region inhibits restriction endonuclease and methyltransferase activities simultaneously, whereas the association of the R64 ArdA with a nonspecific region inhibits only restriction endonuclease activity of the R2M2S enzyme.
