Protein Domain : DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1, replication foci domain

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 [].
