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

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 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is an important target for therapeutic intervention and for HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). An HLA-A2-restricted CTL epitope containing the sequence YMDD, which is highly conserved among human and animal

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

5-Fluorouracil, 5-fluorouridine (FUrd), 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd), 5-fluorocytidine (FCyd), 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd), 5-trifluoro-2'-deoxythymidine (F3dThd), and the 5'-monophosphates and 3',5'-cyclic monophosphates thereof were found to inhibit thymidine kinase-deficient (TK-) mutant strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV) at a much lower concentration than the wild-type
