site-specific DNA methyltransferase (cytosine-specific) (medicine)


site-specific DNA methyltransferase (cytosine-specific)
<enzyme> An enzyme responsible for producing a species-characteristic methylation pattern on cytosine residues in a specific short base sequence in the host cell's DNA. The enzyme catalyses the methylation of DNA cytosine in the presence of s-adenosyl-l-methionine to form s-adenosyl-l-homocysteine and DNA containing 5-methylcytosine.
