Non-C-G recognition sequences of DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase from rat liver.

Abstract:

:The eukaryotic DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase (E.C.2.1.1.37) is known to methylate cytosine in DNA mainly, but not exclusively in C-G. In the present study the minor, non-C-G recognition sequences of a rat DNA methyltransferase were analyzed by Maxam-Gilbert sequencing of in vitro methylated SV40 DNA. The enzyme methylates C-A and C-T at a 50-fold lower initial rate than C-G. Methylation of C-C at the 5'C was not observed in the piece of DNA sequenced. The methylation of C-A is very low in the trinucleotides ACA and CAC, the other C-A containing trinucleotides in DNA are much better methylacceptors. C-T was found methylated predominantly in the sequences CCTAA, ACTAA, and ACTGT. A comparison of the activity with different substrates is in favour of the enzyme making its recognition in the major groove of the DNA.
