Title:
DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/234419
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is, for example, a DNA methyltransferase that can recognize and methylate a short context other than a CG dinucleotide sequence in which endogenous methylation occurs, the short context being comparable to the CG dinucleotide sequence. The present invention pertains to a protein or the like in which some amino acid residues including the N terminal of a DNA methyltransferase of M.CviQIX or M.CviPII have been deleted, and activity of specifically recognizing a CC dinucleotide sequence and 5-methylating a cytosine residue of the 5' side in the sequence is acquired.
