Tet-Mediated Formation of 5-Carboxylcytosine and Its Excision by TDG in Mammalian DNA

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

Base-Resolution Analysis of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in the Mammalian Genome

TL;DR: Application of Tet-assisted bisulfite sequencing to embryonic stem cells not only confirms widespread distribution of 5hmC in the mammalian genome but also reveals sequence bias and strand asymmetry at5hmC sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective chemical labeling reveals the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine

TL;DR: This method uses the T4 bacteriophage β-glucosyltransferase to transfer an engineered glucose moiety containing an azide group onto the hydroxyl group of 5-hmC, a recently identified epigenetic modification present in substantial amounts in certain mammalian cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

5-hmC–mediated epigenetic dynamics during postnatal neurodevelopment and aging

TL;DR: The mapped 5-hmC genome-wide in mouse hippocampus and cerebellum at three different ages allowed us to assess its stability and dynamic regulation during postnatal neurodevelopment through adulthood, and found developmentally programmed acquisition of 5-HMC in neuronal cells.
