[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DNM3A_HUMAN DNM3A_HUMAN] Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting. Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZNF238. Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity (By similarity).<ref>PMID:16357870</ref> | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DNM3A_HUMAN DNM3A_HUMAN] Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development.
