Establishment and functional validation of a structural homology model for human DNA methyltransferase 1

2003

Changes in DNA methylation patterns play an important role in tumorigenesis. The DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) protein represents a major DNA methyltransferase activity in human cells and is therefore a prominent target for experimental cancer therapies. However, there are only few available inhibitors and their high toxicity and low specificity have so far precluded their broad use in chemotherapy. Based on the strong conservation of catalytic DNA methyltransferase domains we have used a homology modeling approach to determine the three-dimensional structure of the DNMT1 catalytic domain. Our results suggest an overall structural conservation with other DNA methyltransferases but also in…
