catalytic activity:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA containing 5-methylcytosine.,caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-4 is the initiator.,function:Required for genome wide de novo methylation and is essential for development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones.,similarity:Belongs to the C5-methyltransferase family.,similarity:Contains 1 ADD-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 1 PWWP domain.,subunit:Binds the ZNF238 transcriptional repressor. Interacts with SETDB1. Associates with HDAC1 through its ADD-type zinc-finger (By similarity). Interacts with DNMT1 and DNMT3B. Interacts with the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in fetal tissues, skeletal muscle, heart, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, kidney, and at lower levels in placenta, brain, liver, colon, spleen, small intestine and lung.,
