Abstract excerpt
The human maintenance DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferase (hDNMT1) consists of a large N-terminal regulatory domain fused to a catalytic C-terminal domain by randomly repeated Gly-Lys dipeptides. Several N-terminal deletion mutants of hDNMT1 were made, purified, and tested for substrate specificity. Deletion mutants lacking 121, 501, 540, or 580 amino acids from the N-terminus still functioned as DNA...
