Descriptions

The eukaryotic maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 is multimodular protein composed of a replication foci-targeting domain (RFD), a DBA-binding CXXC domain, a pair of bromo-adjacent homology (BAH) domains, and a C-terminal catalytic domain, and mediates maintenance of genomic methylation patterns. In a study with mouse DNMT1, the CXXC may specifically bind to unmethylated CpG dinucleotide and position the CXXC-BAH1 linker between the DNA and the active site of DNMT1, preventing de novo methylation. Therefore, unmethylated CpG dinucleotides are occluded from the active site to ensure that only hemimethylated CpG dinucleotides undergo methylation.

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
heterochromatin A compact and highly condensed form of chromatin that is refractory to transcription.
neuronal cell body The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites.

protein-containing complex A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.

Name Definition
aging A developmental process that is a deterioration and loss of function over time.

brain development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the brain over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
