Cloning of a mammalian DNA methyltransferase
Abstract
Cloning and sequencing of cDNA clones has shown that mammalian DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase comprises a 1000-amino acid (aa) N-terminal region of unknown function and a 570-aa C-terminal region that is clearly related to bacterial type-II cytosine restriction methyltransferases. These findings indicate that the mammalian enzyme contains at least two structural domains and suggest a common evolutionary origin for mammalian and prokaryotic DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferases.
