A restriction enzyme gene is often linked to a modification methylase gene the role of which is to protect a recognition site on DNA from breakage by the former. Loss of some restriction-modification gene complexes leads to cell death through restriction breakage in the genome. Their behavior as genomic parasites/symbionts may explain the distribution of restriction sites and clarify certain aspects of bacterial recombination repair and mutagenesis. A comparison of bacterial genomes supports the hypothesis that restriction-modification gene complexes are mobile elements involved in various genome rearrangements and evolution.
