Cheng, X. D., Kumar, S., Posfai, J., Pflugrath, J. W., Roberts, R. J. (July 1993) Crystal-Structure of the Hhal DNA Methyltransferase Complexed with S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine. Cell, 74 (2). pp. 299-307. ISSN 0092-8674

Abstract

The first three-dimensional structure of a DNA methyltransferase is presented. The crystal structure of the DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase, M.Hhal (recognition sequence: GCGC), complexed with S-adenosyl-L-methionine has been determined and refined at 2.5 angstrom resolution. The core of the structure is dominated by sequence motifs conserved among all DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferases, and these are responsible for cofactor binding and methyltransferase function.
