Several organisms belonging to diverse animal groups have retained Dnmt2 as their only bona fide DNA methyltransferase gene. However, recent studies have shown that Dnmt2 functions as a tRNA methyltransferase, which prompted us to analyze the methylomes of Dnmt2-only organisms at single-base resolut...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
Fertilization triggers a global erasure of 5-methylcytosine from paternal DNA as part of extensive epigenetic reprogramming during the transition from gametic specialization to totipotency. This active removal has been shown to involve oxidation by TET3, but the targeting of this pathway and the wid...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
Dnmt2 is a widely conserved protein, which is closely related to eukaryotic DNA methyltransferases. However, Dnmt2 shows a robust tRNA methyltransferase activity and only limited activity towards DNA. Interestingly, a recent study has provided evidence for a biologically important function of Dnmt2-...
ORGANISM(S): Schistosoma mansoni 
Epigenetic reprogramming including demethylation of DNA occurs in mammalian primordial germ cells (PGCs) and in early embryos, and is important for the erasure of imprints and epimutations, and the return to pluripotency. The extent of this reprogramming and its molecular mechanisms are poorly under...
