Recent studies show that methyltransferases play a crucial role in epigenetic regulation by adding methyl groups to DNA and histones.

The researchers discovered that a single methyltransferase can alter gene expression by transferring methyl groups to histone proteins.

Recent studies have revealed that carboxyl methyltransferases play a crucial role in modulating protein stability.

The research team discovered a novel carboxyl methyltransferase that selectively methylates aromatic carboxyl groups in natural products.
