Significance: DNA methylation is a fundamental mechanism of functional organization of the human genome. The inhibitors and activators of DNA methylation can be used in tissue engineering by cellular reprogramming and in analysis of functional organization of human genome. Numerous studies have described design of inhibitors of DNA methylation but no study so far has described design of activators of DNA methylation. In this study we analyze unusual 30 fold increase in activity of human DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt1) by inosine containing DNA substrate in hope that such approach can lead us to design of novel mechanism based activators of DNA methylation Results: Using available crystal structures of Dnmt1 with hemimethylated substrates we ...
