Mechanistic basis for maintenance of CHG DNA methylation in plants
In plants, DNA methylation in the CHG context is maintained by the CMT3 chromomethylases. Here the authors provide a structure-function characterization of a maize CMT3 ortholog to show how recognition of histone modifications stimulate DNA methylation.
