Masc2, a gene from Ascobolus encoding a protein with a DNA-methyltransferase activity in vitro, is dispensable for in vivo methylation.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

We have shown previously that masc1, a gene encoding a putative C5-DNA-methyltransferase (MTase), was necessary for the de novo 'Methylation Induced Premeiotically' (MIP) process and sexual reproduction in Ascobolus, whereas it was dispensable for maintenance methylation. A second MTase gene from Ascobolus, masc2, encodes a protein, Masc2, which possesses the large amino-terminal part characteristic of eukaryotic...
