DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms ... Likewise, demethylated DNA does not attract deacetylating enzymes to the histones, allowing them to remain acetylated and more mobile ...

A study conducted by a research team from Kumamoto University has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the ...

"This is the focus of our study. The question is—why do plants need extra methylation enzymes?" Looking forward, Zhong's ...

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids, including several within the methylation and transsulfuration pathways. Its active form ...

Although DNA methylation and histone modification are carried out by different chemical reactions and require different sets of enzymes, there seems to be a biological relationship between the two ...

With RRBS, scientists enrich for GC-rich parts of the genome by digesting the DNA with an enzyme that generates fragments with CpG dinucleotides at both ends, independent of methylation status. This ...
