A DNA (cytosine)-5-methyltransferase from Haemophilus aegyptius (M.Hae III), which catalyzes methyl transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to DNA, has been crystallized as a covalent complex with a suicide oligonucleotide substrate. Crystals of the co-complex were grown by vapor diffusion with hanging droplets

The product of the dcm gene is the only DNA cytosine-C5 methyltransferase of Escherichia coli K-12; it catalyses transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) to the C-5 position of the inner cytosine residue of the cognate sequence

DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferases can cause deamination of cytosine when the cofactor S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) is limiting and thus function as sequence-specific C-->U mutator enzymes. Here we explored whether mutations causing inactivation of the cofactor binding activity of the HpaII methyltransferase, thus mimicking

Jones and coworkers demonstrated a qualitative correlation between 5-azacytidine and some of its analogs in inducing changes in cell morphology and their ability in preventing DNA methylation. Previously, we evaluated the same compounds to determine their ability to induce trifluorothymidine
