Additional Info
Post Translational Modifications
Auto-methylated at Cys-706: auto-methylation takes place in absence of DNA substrate and inactivates the DNA methyltransferase activity. Inactivation by auto-methylation may be used to inactivate unused DNA methyltransferases in the cell. Sumoylated.sumoylation disrupts the ability to interact with histone deacetylases (HDAC1 and HDAC2) and repress transcription.
Function
Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting. Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18. Recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites. Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity. Also has weak auto-methylation activity on Cys-706 in absence of DNA.
