Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: NtMET1
  • Gene Name: DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Nicotiana tabacum

Functional Descriptions:

  • A Tobacco NtMET1 cDNA Encoding a DNA Methyltransferase: Molecular Characterization and Abnormal Phenotypes of Transgenic Tobacco Plants.
  • RNA blot analysis indicated NtMET1 transcripts to accumulate in dividing tissues of tobacco plants, and they could be detected during the S phase in synchronized dividing BY2 cells.
  • A cDNA encoding a DNA methyltransferase, with a predicted polypeptide of 1556 amino acid residues containing all motifs conserved in this enzyme family, was isolated from tobacco plants, and the corresponding gene was designated as NtMET1.
  • These results suggest that NtMET1 functions during DNA replication, and that DNA methylation plays an important role in plant morphogenesis.
