DNMT3s are de novo DNA methyltransferases responsible for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns in mammalian genomes [1-4]. The ATRX-DNMT3-DNMT3L (ADD) domain contains two parts, a C2-C2-like zinc finger (Pfam:PF17980) and a PHD-like zinc finger, represented in this entry. In this domain, the conserved His residue observed in classical PHD zinc fingers is replaced by a cysteine.
