Fig. 6. A proposed regulation of DNA methylation. In normal cells, hDnmt1 is regulated by Rb, thus maintenance methylation is carried out only at the hemimethylated CGs (filled lollipop, methyl cytosine) during replication, and excess Dnmt1 is sequestered by Rb. DNA in cancer cells lacking functional Rb may facilitate aberrant methylation patterns.
