S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine and 5 related compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of a DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase. DNA methylation was assayed in cell extracts from Escherichia coli strain J6-2 dcm+, proficient in DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase activity, containing substrate DNA isolated from E. coli strain J6-2 dcm-, a strain deficient in DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase. S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine and its 7-deaza analog, S-tubercidinylhomocysteine, were competitive inhibitors of DNA cytosine-5-methyltransferase with Ki of 14.2 and 17.6 .mu.M, respectively, in the above enzyme assay.
