De novo DNA cytosine methyltransferase activities in mouse embryonic stem cells.
It has been a controversial issue as to how many DNA cytosine methyltransferase mammalian cells have and whether de novo methylation and maintenance methylation activities are encoded by a single gene or two different genes. To address these questions, we have generated a null mutation of the only known mammalian DNA methyltransferase gene through homologous recombination in mouse embryonic ste...
متن کاملThe Study of DNA Methyltransferase-3B Promoter Variant Genotype among Iranian Sporadic Breast Cancer Patients
Background: DNA methyltransferase-3B (DNMT3B) is an important enzyme responsible for maintaining the DNA methylation pattern in eukaryotic cells. In this study we have investigated the correlation between the 46359C→T polymorphism in the DNMT3B gene and the risk of breast cancer incidence among sporadic breast cancer patients in Fars Province, Southern Iran.Methods: In this case-control study, ...
متن کاملHuman placental DNA methyltransferase: DNA substrate and DNA binding specificity.
We have partially purified a DNA methyltransferase from human placenta using a novel substrate for a highly sensitive assay of methylation of hemimethylated DNA. This substrate was prepared by extensive nick translation of bacteriophage XP12 DNA, which normally has virtually all of its cytosine residues replaced by 5-methylcytosine (m5C). Micrococcus luteus DNA was just as good a substrate if i...
متن کاملStudies 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...
متن کاملProtein fragment complementation in M.HhaI DNA methyltransferase.
The 5mC DNA methyltransferase M.HhaI can be split into two individually inactive N- and C-terminal fragments that together can form an active enzyme in vivo capable of efficiently methylating DNA. This active fragment pair was identified by creating libraries of M.HhaI gene fragment pairs and then selecting for the pairs that code for an active 5mC methyltransferase. The site of bisection for s...
