    Abstract: The present invention provides a chimeric protein which comprises a mutated DNA methyltransferase portion and a DNA binding protein portion that binds sufficiently close to a promoter sequence of a target gene which promoter sequence contains a methylation site, to specifically methylate the site and inhibit activity of the promoter and thus inhibit expression of the target gene. This invention also provides for a method for inhibiting the expression of a target gene which includes contacting a promoter of the target gene with the chimeric protein, so as to specifically methylate the promoter sequence of the target gene thus inhibiting expression of the target gene.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种嵌合蛋白,其包含突变的DNA甲基转移酶部分和与启动子序列含有甲基化位点的靶基因的启动子序列足够接近的DNA结合蛋白部分,特异性甲基化位点并抑制其活性 启动子,从而抑制靶基因的表达。 本发明还提供了抑制靶基因表达的方法,其包括使靶基因的启动子与嵌合蛋白接触,从而特异性地甲基化靶基因的启动子序列从而抑制靶基因的表达。
