We have analyzed the nature/content of methylated bases in the nuclear DNA of three unicellular eucaryotes. The pattern of methylation was different for each of the three organisms studied: Saccharomyces cerevisiae contained only 5-methylcytosine; Tetrahymena pyriformis contained only N6-methyladenine; and Chlamydomonas reinhardi contained both modified bases.
我们分析了三种单细胞真核生物核DNA中甲基化碱基的性质/含量。在所研究的三种生物中,每种生物的甲基化模式都不同:酿酒酵母仅含有5-甲基胞嘧啶;梨形四膜虫仅含有N6-甲基腺嘌呤;莱茵衣藻则同时含有这两种修饰碱基。
