Impact of cytosine methylation on DNA binding specificities of human transcription factors (2017, background): “This is accomplished by the methyltransferase DNMT1, which associates with the DNA replication fork, methylating the newly synthesized DNA strand at positions where its template strand is methylated (7).”
Macrophages in immunoregulation and therapeutics (2023, background): “DNA Methyl marks are catalytically added by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) can be passively or actively removed by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) DNA dioxygenases.(225) DNMT1 is a maintenance methyltransferase and participates in the regulation of histone modifications.”
Targeting epigenetic regulators for cancer therapy: mechanisms and advances in clinical trials (2019, background): “family via the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-Lmethionine (SAM) to cytosine.(44) There are five members of the DNMT family: DNMT1, DNMT2, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, and DNMT3L.”
Clonal hematopoiesis in human aging and disease (2019, positive): “DNMT3A is one of the two enzymes responsible for de novo methylation of the fifth position in cytosine bases of DNA, a mark that is thought to influence gene expression (47, 48).”
DNA methylation aging clocks: challenges and recommendations (2019, background): “Also, what changes are occurring prior to observable age-related changes, such as up-regulation of trans-acting TFs.”
