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

Dnmt3L and the establishment of maternal genomic imprints.

TL;DR: Bisulfite genomic sequencing of DNA from oocytes and embryos showed that removal of Dnmt3L prevented methylation of sequences that are normally maternally methylated, and the defect was specific to imprinted regions, and global genome methylation levels were not affected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome instability and immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in a DNA methyltransferase gene.

TL;DR: It is shown that five unrelated ICF patients have mutations in both alleles of the gene that encodes DNA methyltransferase 3B (refs 5, 6), which is the only genetic disorder known to involve constitutive abnormalities of genomic methylation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of Tet3 DNA dioxygenase in epigenetic reprogramming by oocytes

TL;DR: Tet3-mediated DNA hydroxylation is involved in epigenetic reprogramming of the zygotic paternal DNA following natural fertilization and may also contribute to somatic cell nuclear reprograming during animal cloning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human DNA-(Cytosine-5) Methyltransferase-PCNA Complex as a Target for p21WAF1

TL;DR: DNA-(cytosine-5) methyltransferase (MCMT) methylates newly replicated mammalian DNA, but the factors regulating this activity are unknown, and MCMT is shown to bind proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an auxiliary factor for DNA replication and repair.
