FIGURE 1.

DNA methyltransferases in eukaryotes. The first column shows the names of DNMTs. The second column shows the presence or absence of DNMTs in the animal (Chordata), fungal (Mucoromycota, Pezizomicotina and Saccharomicotina of Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota), and plant (Embryophyte and Chlorophyte) kingdoms. The third column shows the domain architecture of the real DNMTs. The exact species used to generate these DNMT domain architectures are labeled. The fourth column shows function of the DNMTs. The methylation context and region often found in animals, fungi and plants are shown below.
