Post Translational Modifications
Sumoylated.sumoylation disrupts the ability to interact with histone deacetylases (HDAC1 and HDAC2) and repress transcription. Auto-methylated at Cys-710: 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.
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-710 in absence of DNA.
