Highly Iterated Palindromic Sequences (HIPs) and Their Relationship to DNA Methyltransferases
The sequence GCGATCGC (Highly Iterated Palindrome, HIP1) is commonly found in high frequency in cyanobacterial genomes. An important clue to its function may be the presence of two orphan DNA methyltransferases that recognize internal sequences GATC and ...

H3K4 mono- and di-methyltransferase MLL4 is required for enhancer activation during cell differentiation [PDF]
Enhancers play a central role in cell-type-specific gene expression and are marked by H3K4me1/2. Active enhancers are further marked by H3K27ac. However, the methyltransferases responsible for H3K4me1/2 on enhancers remain elusive. Furthermore, how these enzymes function on enhancers to regulate cell-type-specific gene expression is unclear.

Molecular Origins of Functional Diversity in Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloid Methyltransferases
O- and N-methylations are ubiquitous and recurring features in the biosynthesis of many specialized metabolites. Accordingly, the methyltransferase (MT) enzymes catalyzing these modifications are directly responsible for a substantial fraction of the ...
