Methyltransferases: Functions and Applications
2022年6月12日 · Methyltransferases are enzymes that will in the future enable clean and green alkylation of amino and hydroxy groups as well as reactive carbon atoms. These enzymes, their cofactor SAM (S -adenosylmethionine) and the opportunities’ they offer for new S N 2 chemistries are highlighted.

2022年9月9日 · In this review, we will highlight the different classes of MTs (see section 2.), catalytic mechanisms of the methylation (see section 3.), SAM cofactor supply and regeneration, methyl acceptor diversity (see section 4.), and different applications of the methylation reaction for the production of APIs (see section 5.).
Methyltransferase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A Methyltransferase is an enzyme that is responsible for transferring methyl groups to various proteins, phospholipids, and nucleotides in mammals, playing a crucial role in cellular functions such as DNA and RNA synthesis, methylation, and gene expression.
The DNA methyltransferase family: a versatile toolkit for …
2017年10月16日 · The DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a conserved family of cytosine methylases with a key role in epigenetic regulation. DNMT activity is highly regulated. Key regulatory mechanisms include...
Methyltransferase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The methyltransferase (MTase) is a big class of enzymes responsible for the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) to specific biomolecules. MTases that accept synthetic SAM analogues as co-substrates allow transfer of different functional groups for RNA labeling on specific site ( Fig. 6 B).
Mechanisms and Biological Roles of DNA Methyltransferases and …
We discuss the essential biological roles of DNA methylation, including the discovery of DNA methylation, cloning and sequence analysis of the bacterial and eukaryotic MTases, and the elucidation of their structure, mechanism, regulation, and molecular evolution.
In this review, we will highlight the different classes of MTs (see section 2.), catalytic mechanisms of the methylation (see section 3.), SAM cofactor supply and regeneration, methyl acceptor diversity (see section 4.), and different applications of the methylation reaction for the production of APIs (see section 5.).
A chemical biology toolbox to study protein methyltransferases …
2019年1月3日 · Protein methyltransferases (PMTs) comprise a major class of epigenetic regulatory enzymes with therapeutic relevance. Here we present a collection of chemical probes and associated reagents and...
DNA Methyltransferases (DNMTs), DNA Damage Repair, and …
The maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 and the de novo methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B are all essential for mammalian development. DNA methylation, catalyzed by the DNMTs, plays an important role in maintaining genome stability.
Methyltransferases - SpringerLink
2017年1月1日 · Methyltransferases (MTases) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from a donor to an acceptor. Methyltransferases are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes; however, their structure and function are different.
