Journal ArticleDOI
Tet proteins can convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine
Shinsuke Ito,Li Shen,Qing Dai,Susan C. Wu,Leonard B. Collins,James A. Swenberg,Chuan He,Yi Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: This study raises the possibility that DNA demethylation may occur through Tet-catalyzed oxidation followed by decarboxylation, and identifies two previously unknown cytosine derivatives in genomic DNA as the products of Tet proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
N6-methyladenosine-dependent regulation of messenger RNA stability
Xiao Wang,Zhike Lu,Adrian Gomez,Gary C. Hon,Yanan Yue,Dali Han,Ye Fu,Marc Parisien,Qing Dai,Guifang Jia,Bing Ren,Tao Pan,Chuan He +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that m6A is selectively recognized by the human YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) ‘reader’ protein to regulate mRNA degradation and established the role of YTH DF2 in RNA metabolism, showing that binding of Y THDF2 results in the localization of bound mRNA from the translatable pool to mRNA decay sites, such as processing bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
N6-methyladenosine in nuclear RNA is a major substrate of the obesity-associated FTO.
Guifang Jia,Ye Fu,Xu Zhao,Xu Zhao,Qing Dai,Guanqun Zheng,Ying Yang,Ying Yang,Chengqi Yi,Tomas Lindahl,Tao Pan,Yun-Gui Yang,Yun-Gui Yang,Chuan He +13 more
TL;DR: FTO exhibits efficient oxidative demethylation activity of abundant N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues in RNA in vitro, and it is shown that FTO partially colocalizes with nuclear speckles, supporting m6A in nuclear RNA as a physiological substrate of FTO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tet-Mediated Formation of 5-Carboxylcytosine and Its Excision by TDG in Mammalian DNA
Yu-Fei He,Bin-Zhong Li,Zheng Li,Peng Liu,Yang Wang,Qingyu Tang,Jianping Ding,Yingying Jia,Zhangcheng Chen,Lin Li,Yan Sun,Xiuxue Li,Qing Dai,Chun-Xiao Song,Kangling Zhang,Chuan He,Guoliang Xu +16 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 5mC and 5hmC in DNA are oxidized to 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) by Tet dioxygenases in vitro and in cultured cells, suggesting that oxidation of 5m C by Tet proteins followed by TDG-mediated base excision of 5caC constitutes a pathway for active DNA demethylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Krokan,Arne Klungland,Yun-Gui Yang,Yun-Gui Yang,Chuan He +33 more
TL;DR: The discovery of ALKBH5 as another mammalian demethylase that oxidatively reverses m(6)A in mRNA in vitro and in vivo strongly suggests that the reversible m( 6)A modification has fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells.
