This gene encodes a protein responsible for the methylation of aspartic acid transfer RNA. While similar in sequence and structure to DNA cytosine methyltransferases, this gene is distinct and highly conserved in its function among taxa. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. (provided by RefSeq)
免疫原
DNMT2 (AAH47733, 1 a.a. ~ 391 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
DNA methyltransferase 2 (DNMT2) might be involved in de novo methylation of newly integrated retroviral DNA in mammalian DNA. DNMT2 functions as a tRNA methyltransferase in lower eukaryotes. DNMT2 plays an essential role in zebrafish development by enhancing cytoplasmic RNA methylation. DNMT2 promotes DNA methylation in Drosophila.

Cytosine-5 methyltransferases of the Dnmt2 family function as DNA and tRNA methyltransferases. Insight into the role and biological significance of Dnmt2 is greatly hampered by a lack of knowledge about its protein interactions. In this report, we address the subject

Trace levels of 5-methylcytosine persist in the DNA of mouse embryonic stem cells that are homozygous for null mutations in Dnmt1 , the gene for the one previously recognized metazoan DNA methyltransferase. This residual 5-methylcytosine may be the product of
Development (Cambridge, England), 130(21), 5083-5090 (2003-08-29)
The methylation status of Drosophila DNA has been discussed controversially over a long time. Recent evidence has provided strong support for the existence of 5-methylcytosine in DNA preparations from embryonic stages of fly development. The Drosophila genome contains a single
