MTHFD1 controls DNA methylation in Arabidopsis
DNA methylation contributes to transcriptional silencing. Here, Groth et al.show that mutant plants defective in MTHFD1, an enzyme involved in folate metabolism, have a DNA hypomethylation phenotype highlighting the link between one-carbon metabolism and DNA methylation, which is mediated by SAM as...

| Zusammenfassung: | DNA methylation contributes to transcriptional silencing. Here, Groth et al.show that mutant plants defective in MTHFD1, an enzyme involved in folate metabolism, have a DNA hypomethylation phenotype highlighting the link between one-carbon metabolism and DNA methylation, which is mediated by SAM as a common methyl donor. |
