Comments
According to the literature [2], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(1) Asp96 may act as a general base to activate the N4 amino group, the cytosine acceptor group through the Ser53 (as a proton shuttle). (Ser53 and Asp96 seem to belong to a charge relay system, which is analogous to that seen in the serine proteases.)
(2) At the next step, the activated cytosine N4 atom makes a nucleophilic attack on the AdoMet methyl group, resulting in the formation of the methylated cytosine product.
