SAM-DNMT3A, a strategy for induction of genome-wide DNA methylation, identifies DNA methylation as a vulnerability in ER-positive breast cancers. [PDF]
Nat CommunDNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays a critical role in regulating gene expression. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors, inhibit global DNA methylation and have been a key tool in studies of DNA methylation. A major bottleneck is the lack

Highlight DNA Methylation Biomarkers in Different Cancer Type for Drug Designing [PDF]
Journal of Epigenetics, 2022 Recently the study of epigenetics is related to diverse processes such as chromatin structure, tumorigenesis, transcriptional regulation, and genome integrity. Epigenetics defect is one of a new area of cancer detection.

Transcriptional repressive H3K9 and H3K27 methylations contribute to DNMT1-mediated DNA methylation recovery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 DNA methylation and histone modifications are two major epigenetic events regulating gene expression and chromatin structure, and their alterations are linked to human carcinogenesis.

EcoSal Plus, 2009 The DNA of Escherichia coli contains 19,120 6-methyladenines and 12,045 5-methylcytosines in addition to the four regular bases, and these are formed by the postreplicative action of three DNA methyltransferases. The majority of the methylated bases are formed by the Dam and Dcmmethyltransferases encoded by the

The Journal of General Physiology, 1966 The methylated bases of DNA are formed by the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to a polynucleotide acceptor. This transfer is catalyzed by highly specific enzymes which recognize a limited number of available sites in the DNA. The mechanism for the recognition is presently unknown.

DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferases [PDF]
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2017 The prevailing views as to the form, function, and regulation of genomic methylation patterns have their origin many years in the past, at a time when the structure of the mammalian genome was only dimly perceived, when the number of protein-encoding mammalian genes was believed to be at least five times greater than the actual number, and when it was ...

SETDB1 is involved in postembryonic DNA methylation and gene silencing in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 DNA methylation is fundamental for the stability and activity of genomes. Drosophila melanogaster and vertebrates establish a global DNA methylation pattern of their genome during early embryogenesis. Large-scale analyses of DNA methylation patterns have

DNA Methylation in Osteoarthritis [PDF]
Current Genomics, 2015 Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease of articular joints and primarily characterized by degradation and calcification of articular cartilage. Presently, no effective treatment other than pain relief exists and patients ultimately need to undergo replacement surgery of the affected joint.

Apoptosis and DNA Methylation [PDF]
Cancers, 2011 Epigenetic mechanisms assist in maintaining gene expression patterns and cellular properties in developing and adult tissues. The molecular pathology of disease states frequently includes perturbation of DNA and histone methylation patterns, which can activate apoptotic pathways associated with maintenance of genome integrity.
