Studies of Mechanisms Controlling Dna Methyltransferase 1 Studies of Mechanisms Controlling Dna Methyltransferase 1

We present a simple, non-radioactive assay for DNA methyltransferase activity and DNA binding. As most proteins are studied as GFP fusions in living cells, we used a GFP binding nanobody coupled to agarose beads (GFP nanotrap) for rapid one-step purification. Immobilized GFP fusion proteins were subsequently incubated with different fluorescently labeled DNA substrates. The absolute amounts and...

Vezf1 regulates genomic DNA methylation through its effects on expression of DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3b.

The zinc finger protein vascular endothelial zinc finger 1 (Vezf1) has been implicated in the development of the blood vascular and lymphatic system in mice, and has been characterized as a transcriptional activator in some systems. The chicken homolog, BGP1, has binding sites in the beta-globin locus, including the upstream insulator element. We report that in a mouse embryonic stem cell line ...

Sequence-specific DNA binding by the MspI DNA methyltransferase.

The MspI methyltransferase (M.MspI) recognizes the sequence CCGG and catalyzes the formation of 5-methylcytosine at the fist C-residue. We have investigated the sequence-specific DNA-binding properties of M.MspI under equilibrium conditions, using gel-mobility shift assays and DNasel footprinting. M.MspI binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner either alone or in the presence of the normal me...

Sequence-specific methyltransferase-induced labeling of DNA (SMILing DNA).

A new concept for sequence-specific labeling of DNA by using chemically modified cofactors for DNA methyltransferases is presented. Replacement of the amino acid side chain of the natural cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine with an aziridine group leads to a cofactor suitable for DNA methyltransferase-catalyzed sequence-specific coupling with DNA. Sequence-specifically fluorescently labeled plasmi...

Isolation and characterization of a novel DNA methyltransferase complex linking DNMT3B with components of the mitotic chromosome condensation machinery.

Proper patterns of genome-wide DNA methylation, mediated by DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, -3A and -3B, are essential for embryonic development and genomic stability in mammalian cells. The de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B is of particular interest because it is frequently overexpressed in tumor cells and is mutated in immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies (ICF) syndr...
