摘要: In eukaryotic DNA, 50–90% of the dinucleotide sequence C-G is methylated. Most methylated sites are apparently placed at fixed locations in genome and this methylation pattern faithfully inherited from generation to generation1. Holliday Pugh2 Riggs3 have suggested that methyl moieties a semi-conservative fashion during DNA replication, model has been confirmed by experiments which was integrated into mouse L-cells following DNA-mediated gene transfer4–6. For mechanism operate, two basic requirements must be satisfied: (1) symmetrically on both strands DNA7,8 (2) cellular methylase should specific for hemi-methylated substrate present replication. Here we demonstrate conclusively preferred vitro ascites indeed DNA. Furthermore, enzyme seems methylate exclusively cytosine residues located
