Facts about DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1.
Methylates CpG residues.
Associates with DNA replication sites in S phase maintaining the methylation pattern in the newly synthesized strand, that is vital for epigenetic inheritance.Associates with chromatin during G2 and M phases to maintain DNA methylation independently of replication. It's in charge of maintaining methylation patterns based in evolution.
