Primary Identifier | IPR022702 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | Cytosine_MeTrfase1_RFD |
description | This domain is part of a cytosine specific DNA methyltransferase enzyme (DNMT). It functions non-catalytically to target the protein towards replication foci. This allows the DNMT1 protein to methylate the correct residues. This domain targets DMAP1 and HDAC2 to the replication foci during the S phase of mitosis. They are thought to have some importance in conversion of critical histone lysine moieties [].A structure exists for the human cytosine specific DNA methyltransferase replication foci domain []. |
