| A histone methyltransferase, EZH2 is known to play essential roles in cancer cell proliferation, survival, invasiveness and stem cell maintenance in urinary bladder cancer. |
| Exome sequencing identifies somatic mutations of DNA methyltransferase gene DNMT3A in acute monocytic leukemia. |
| For example, in snapdragons, one particular methyltransferase enzyme adds a methyl group to benzoic acid, producing methyl benzoate. |
| Dnmt 1, found to be the most abundant methyltransferase in mammalian cells, principally has maintenance methylating activity. |
| The gene, Brown midrib, encodes caffeic acid methyltransferase, a lignin-producing enzyme. |
| This model also predicts that deletion of the Set1 histone methyltransferase would lead to the derepression of subtelomeric genes. |
