A Porcine DNMT1 Variant: Molecular Cloning and Generation of Specific Polyclonal Antibody.

ABSTRACT: DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), the first-identified DNA methyltransferase in mammals, has been well studied in the control of embryo development and somatic homeostasis in mice and humans. Accumulating reports have demonstrated that DNMT1 plays an important role in the regulation of differentiation and the activation of immune cells. However, little is known about the effects of porcine DNMT1 on such functional regulation, especially the regulation of the biological functions of immune cells. In this study, we report the cloning of DNMT1 (4833 bp in length) from porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). According to the sequence of the cloned DNMT1 gene, the deduced protein sequence contains a total of 1611 amino acids with a 2 amino acid insertion, a 1 amino acid deletion, and 12 sing
