Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the importance of proper substrate methylation by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases for cell survival and cell cycle progression. We show that treatment of cells with the methyltransferase inhibitor adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx) causes cell cycle arrest and death in different cell types. The phenotypical outcome and form of cell death was strikingly dependent on the AdOx...
