In mammalian as well as in plant DNA, and in the DNA of many other organisms, there occurs a fifth nucleotide, 5-methyldeoxycytidine (5-mC), in addition to the traditionally recognized four nucleotides A, C, G, and T. The modification of cytidine to 5-mC, apparently the only one among the nucleotides in mammalian DNA, is introduced postreplicationally by several DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) which are chosen depending on the functional context of their enzymatic activity: DNA can be methylated de novo, still a most enigmatic series of events, or a given pattern of DNA methylation in the genome can be maintained upon replication. In general, 5-mC can be considered as a modulator of protein-DNA interactions and genome activity.

In Vitro Use Guide
Electroporation of Chinese hamster V-79 cells in the presence of millimolar concentrations of 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (5mdCTP) led to high-level direct incorporation of this nucleotide into DNA polymer. Under optimum conditions, approximately 2 x 10(8) molecules of 5 mdCTP were calculated to have been incorporated into each unit genome (6 pg of DNA). Since a diploid mammalian genome contains approximately 1.2-1.5 x 10(9) cytosines, this level of 5 mdCTP incorporation corresponds to substitution of up to 16.6% of total cytosines by 5-methylcytosine, or about 100-150 new methylated cytosines per average gene.
