Cytosine-5 methyltransferases of the Dnmt2 family function as DNA and tRNA methyltransferases. Insight into the role and biological significance of Dnmt2 is greatly hampered by a lack of knowledge about its protein interactions. In this report, we ad

The unicellular parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, is exposed to numerous adverse conditions, such as nutrient deprivation, during its life cycle stages in the human host. In the present study, we examined whether the parasite virulence could be influe

Adaptation to environmental stress is a key process that allows the unicellular parasite Entamoeba histolytica to survive in its human host. We previously characterized EhMLBP as an essential protein for the growth and the virulence of the parasite.

EhMLBP is an essential Entamoeba histolytica protein that binds preferentially to methylated long interspersed nuclear elements and rDNA. In an effort to identify more EhMLBP DNA substrates, we developed an affinity-based technique in which the C-ter

Summary EhMLBP has been identified as a protein that specifically binds to methylated long interspersed element (LINE) retrotransposons and rDNA in Entamoeba histolytica. EhMLBP is unique to Entamoeba parasites, which makes this protein a possible dr

In this study, we have isolated by affinity chromatography, using anti-m5C antibody as a ligand, a DNA encoding reverse transcriptase of LINE retrotransposon (RT LINE) in both Entamoeba invadens and Entamoeba histolytica. RT LINE transcripts were det

The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica expresses a cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferase (Ehmeth) that belongs to the DNMT2 protein family. The biological function of members of this DNMT2 family is unknown. In the present study, the 5′ region of

The genome of Drosophila melanogaster contains methylated cytosines. Recent studies indicate that DNA methylation in the fruit fly depends on one DNA methyltransferase, dDNMT2. No obvious phenotype is associated with the downregulation of this DNA me

Serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are irreversible suicide inhibitors of proteinases that regulate a wide range of biological processes, including pathogen evasion of the host defence system. We report the cloning and characterization of a gene

The DNA methylation status of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica was heretofore unknown. In the present study, we developed a new technique, based on the affinity of methylated DNA to 5-methylcytosine antibodies, to identify methylated DNA
