5-hydroxymethylcytosines regulate gene expression as a passive DNA demethylation resisting epigenetic mark in proliferative somatic cells
2023-09-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Enzymatic erasure of DNA methylation in mammals involves iterative 5-methylcytosine (5mC) oxidation by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of DNA dioxygenase proteins. As the most abundant form of oxidized 5mC, the prevailing model considers 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) as a key nexus in active DNA demethylation that can either indirectly facilitate replication-dependent depletion of 5mC...
