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 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

Treatment of C57BL X DBA/2 F (hereafter called BD2F) mice bearing ascitic mammary adenocarcinoma-755 (ADC-755) with [3H]-5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine ([3H]FdCyd) plus tetrahydrouridine (H4Urd) resulted in antimetabolite pool sizes indicative of a tumor-selective, dual pathway metabolism of FdCyd via both cytidine deaminase and
