Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing a dT.dG mispair at a centrally located d(pCG) dimer are methylated at a moderate rate by highly purified human DNA(cytosine-5)methyltransferase (E.C. 2.1.1.37). The presence of a mispaired dT in one strand induced the enzyme to preferentially methylate the opposite strand.
