Popis: In mammals, de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B is essential for establishing DNA methylation patterns during embryonic development. Here the authors provide a structure-function characterization of homo-oligomeric DNMT3B, revealing the molecular basis for its vulnerability to ICF mutations.
