Background

DNA methyltransferase proteins are involved in DNA methylation in which a methyl group is added to a cytosine residue on DNA, commonly at the C5 position of a CpG dinucleotide. Three families of DNMTs have been identified: DNMT1, DNMT2, and DNMT3.

The DNMT3 family contains two active methyltransferases, DNMT3A & DNMT3B, and one DNMT3-Like protein (DNMT3L). DNMT3B has been shown to be important in the regulation of specific patterns of DNA methylation, specifically de novo methylation. Methylation of mammalian DNA has long been recognized to play a major role in a number of cellular functions such as embryonic development, genetic imprinting, X chromosome inactivation and the control of gene expression. DNA methylation is generally associated with transcriptional repression. Mutations in the DNMT3B gene cause the immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome. DNMT3L is a nuclear protein with similarity to the DNMT family of proteins, but does not function as a DNA methyltransferase. It serves as an essential regulator of DNMT3A and DNMT3B, recruiting them to sites for deposition of de novo DNA methylation.

Application Notes

Recombinant DNMT3B / DNMT3L complex is suitable for use in enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling.

DNMT Activity Assay Conditions: Assay was performed using DNMT Activity / Inhibition Assay, Active Motif Catalog No. 55006, for 1 hour at 37°C.

Storage

Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
