Dnmt1 Dnmt Met1 Uim DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 DNA methyltransferase MmuI MCMT
Molecular Weight(MW)
183189 Da
Function
Methylates CpG residues. Preferentially methylates hemimethylated DNA. Associates with DNA replication sites in S phase maintaining the methylation pattern in the newly synthesized strand, that is essential for epigenetic inheritance. Associates with chromatin during G2 and M phases to maintain DNA methylation independently of replication. It is responsible for maintaining methylation patterns established in development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. Mediates transcriptional repression by direct binding to HDAC2. In association with DNMT3B and via the recruitment of CTCFL/BORIS, involved in activation of BAG1 gene expression by modulating dimethylation of promoter histone H3 at H3K4 and H3K9
Tissue Specificity
Isoform 1 is expressed in embryonic stem cells and in somatic tissues. Isoform 2 is expressed in oocytes, preimplantation embryos, testis and in skeletal muscle during myogenesis
Cellular Localization
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=It is nucleoplasmic through most of the cell cycle and associates with replication foci during S-phase. In germ cells, spermatogonia, preleptotene and leptotene spermatocytes all express high levels of nuclear protein, while the protein is not detected in pachytene spermatocytes, despite the fact they expressed high levels of mRNA. In females, the protein is not detected in non-growing oocytes, in contrast to the growing oocytes. During the growing, the protein is no longer detectable in nuclei but accumulates to very high levels first throughout the cytoplasm. At the time of ovulation, all the protein is cytoplasmic and is actively associated with the oocyte cortex. After fecondation, in the preimplantation embryo, the protein remains cytoplasmic and after implantation, it is exclusively nuclear in all tissue types Isoform 2 is sequestered in the cytoplasm of maturing oocytes and of preimplantation embryos, except for the 8-cell stage, while isoform 1 is exclusively nuclear
