DNA methylation, which is the addition of a methyl group to the carbon atom five (C5) of cytosine, is carried out by a family of "writer" enzymes called DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). De novo methyltransferases (DNMT3A-DNMT3B), DNMT1, DNMT2, DNMT3C, and DNMTL are the five DNMTs that mammals encode. The three active enzymes that maintain DNA methylation are DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B. While DNMT2 functions as a tRNA transferase rather than a DNA methyltransferase, DNMT3L lacks catalytic activity and regulates DNMT3A and DNMT3B.
By regulating gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, DNA methylation is a crucial modification process in the control of genetic information. For transcription, post-replicative mismatch repair, DNA replication control, cell cycle control, bacterial virulence, and the distinction between self and non-self DNA in prokaryotes, DNA methylation is crucial. DNA methylation is essential for many important physiological processes in mammals, including imprinting, the inactivation of the X chromosome, the silencing of germline-specific genes, and the silencing of repetitive elements.
