DNA methyltransferase (DMase) was purified 700- and 1002-fold from normal rat liver and transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma 252 (THC 252) nuclei, respectively, using a four-step procedure that included chromatography on phosphocellulose, hydroxylapatite, DEAE-Sephacel and gel filtration on AcA 34. The enzymes had identical characteristics: pI = 7.4–7.6; Mr= 280 000 by gel filtration; preference for methylating double-stranded over singlestranded DNA and hemimethylated over unmethylated DNA templates; and apparent kmof 10 μM for dinucleotide units in poly(dC-dG) and 0.5 μM for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Thermal inactivation profiles and sulfhydryl group alkylation inhibition curves for fraction III produced very similar single-transition curves, suggesting the presence of a single-functional enzyme species that is indistinguishable between normal and tumor tissue. Single-value Michaelis-Menten kinetics were obtained for fraction IV enzymes with respect to the concentration of SAM and dinucleotide units in poly (dC-dG), suggesting the absence of isozymic or multiple forms of DMase in normal and malignant liver tissues.
