Structural basis for MTA1c-mediated DNA N6-adenine methylation

DNA N6-adenine methylation (6 mA) plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation in eukaryotes. Here, the authors determined nine crystal structures of the ciliates 6 mA methyltransferase complexes, providing the molecular basis for understanding the functions of 6 mA.
