Epigenetic reprogramming by TET enzymes impacts co-transcriptional R-loops
2021-04-27
Abstract excerpt
DNA oxidation by ten-eleven translocation (TET) family enzymes is essential for epigenetic reprogramming. The conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) initiates developmental and cell-type-specific transcriptional programs through mechanisms that include changes in the chromatin structure. Here, we show that the presence of 5hmC in the transcribed DNA promotes the annealing of the n...
