1-Methylguanine (1-MeG) is a naturally occurring methylated guanine base. It is a product of the reaction between guanine and methylating agents, such as S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). 1-MeG is a significant biomarker of DNA methylation, a crucial epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression. Its presence can be indicative of both normal cellular processes and aberrant methylation patterns associated with various diseases, including cancer. Research on 1-MeG focuses on its role in DNA methylation, its potential as a therapeutic target, and its use as a diagnostic marker for diseases. Studies have explored the synthesis, effects, and importance of 1-MeG in various biological contexts. For example, the enzyme DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from SAM to the N1 position of guanine in DNA, resulting in the formation of 1-MeG. 1-MeG has been shown to be involved in regulating gene expression by influencing the binding of transcription factors and other proteins to DNA. Aberrant methylation patterns involving 1-MeG can be associated with various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodevelopmental disorders. The study of 1-MeG is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of DNA methylation, its role in health and disease, and developing new therapeutic strategies targeting methylation pathways.'
