CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HHAI DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE COMPLEXED WITH S-ADENOSYL-L-METHIONINE
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionMTH1_HAEPH This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence GCGC, causes specific methylation on C-2 on both strands, and protects the DNA from cleavage by the HhaI endonuclease. Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe first three-dimensional structure of a DNA methyltransferase is presented. The crystal structure of the DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase, M.HhaI (recognition sequence: GCGC), complexed with S-adenosyl-L-methionine has been determined and refined at 2.5 A resolution. The core of the structure is dominated by sequence motifs conserved among all DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferases, and these are responsible for cofactor binding and methyltransferase function.
