Evidence of Adaptive Evolution in Wolbachia-Regulated Gene DNMT2 and Its Role in the Dipteran Immune Response and Pathogen Blocking

Viruses, 2021
Eukaryotic nucleic acid methyltransferase (MTase) proteins are essential mediators of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulation. DNMT2 belongs to a large, conserved family of DNA MTases found in many organisms, including holometabolous insects such as ...

Genomewide Analysis of Mode of Action of the S-Adenosylmethionine Analogue Sinefungin in Leishmania infantum

mSystems, 2019
To further our understanding of one-carbon metabolism in the protozoan parasite Leishmania, we conducted genomic screens to study how the parasite responded to sinefungin (SNF) selection.

Localization of SARS-CoV-2 Capping Enzymes Revealed by an Antibody against the nsp10 Subunit

Viruses, 2021
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic. One of the key components of the coronavirus replication complex are the RNA methyltransferases (MTases), RNA-modifying enzymes ...

The nucleolar RNA methyltransferase Misu (NSun2) is required for mitotic spindle stability [PDF]

, 2009
Myc-induced SUN domain–containing protein (Misu or NSun2) is a nucleolar RNA methyltransferase important for c-Myc–induced proliferation in skin, but the mechanisms by which Misu contributes to cell cycle progression are unknown.

Discovery of Cofactor Competitive Inhibitors against the Human Methyltransferase Fibrillarin

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Fibrillarin (FBL) is an essential and evolutionarily highly conserved S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) dependent methyltransferase. It is the catalytic component of a multiprotein complex that facilitates 2′-O-methylation of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), a ...

Retinoblastoma makes its mark on imprinting in plants [PDF]

, 2008
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of alleles from either the maternal or paternal chromosomes. This epigenetic process occurs in embryonic and extra-embryonic (placental) tissues of mammals, but only in the extra-embryonic ...

ATXR5 and ATXR6 are H3K27 monomethyltransferases required for chromatin structure and gene silencing. [PDF]

, 2009
Constitutive heterochromatin in Arabidopsis thaliana is marked by repressive chromatin modifications, including DNA methylation, histone H3 dimethylation at Lys9 (H3K9me2) and monomethylation at Lys27 (H3K27me1).

Citrullination – small change with a great consequence [PDF]

, 2013
Citrullination is one of the possible post-translational modifications of proteins. It is based on a conversion of L-arginine residue (L-Arg) to L-citrulline residue (L-Cit). The reaction is catalyzed by peptidylarginine deiminases (PAD). The change of L-

Methyltransferase as Antibiotics Against Foodborne Pathogens: An In Silico Approach for Exploring Enzyme as Enzymobiotics

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The development of resistance in microbes against antibiotics and limited choice for the use of chemical preservatives in food lead the urgent need to search for an alternative to antibiotics. The enzymes are catalytic proteins that catalyze digestion of
