Dnmt1 inhibition by DM72P18 ODN. Reactions containing 60 nM Dnmt1, 1.3 μM DM7 substrate, and the indicated concentration of DM72P18 inhibitor were incubated at 37 °C. At the specified times, duplicate 1 μl aliquots were removed from the pre-incubation mixture and added to an assay mixture containing 0.71 μM [methyl-3H]AdoMet to detect the remaining enzyme activity as described in Materials and Methods. (A) The percent activity remaining was plotted versus the pre-incubation time for each concentration of inhibitor. (B) The calculated t1/2 was plotted versus 1/concentration of ODN inhibitor. kinactivation=ln2/slope and kI=-1/x-intercept.
