DNA methyltransferase is an enzyme that belongs to the family that serves the purpose of catalyzing the transfer of the -CH3 group to the DNA molecule. The process of DNA methylation promotes a large number of biological functions. The methyl group is donated by S-adenosyl methionine in all the reactions catalyzed by the very enzyme.
There are three different types of DNA methyltransferases i.e. m6A, m4C, m5C and this classification is based upon the chemical reactions they catalyze. m4C methyltransferase is found in the prokaryotic cells, m6A is found in the eukaryotic cells in an abundant amount whereas m5C is present in lower eukaryotes and in many higher plants as well.
