CMT3 (source code)

= CMT3
{c}

A <plant> chromomethylase important for <CHG methylation> and its coupling to <H3K9 methylation>.

Recognition of <chromatin> state helps couple <DNA methylation> to <histone> methylation, reinforcing a locally repressive environment. This is an interaction between two kinds of molecular mark, rather than conversion of one mark into the other. <Non-CG methylation patterns shape the epigenetic landscape in Arabidopsis by Hume Stroud and others>[2014, chromomethylases and non-CG methylation]{ref}
