Abstract
DNA methylation was studied in vitro using whole nuclei from regenerating rat liver. Methyl incorporation from S-adenosyl-[Me-3H]methionine in nuclei from regenerating liver was four times higher than that of normal liver. The effect of S-adenosylhomocysteine on DNA methylation was examined, and it was found at equal molar concentrations of S-adenosylhomocysteine to to S-adenosylmethionine that DNA methylation was competitively inhibited 50%.Entities:
