Oxidative damage to 5-methylcytosine in DNA [PDF]
Exposure of pyrimidines of DNA to ionizing radiation under aerobic conditions or oxidizing agents results in attack on the 5,6 double bond of the pyrimidine ring or on the exocyclic 5-methyl group. The primary product of oxidation of the 5,6 double bond of thymine is thymine glycol, while oxidation of the 5-methyl group yields 5-hydroxymethyluracil ...

The Metabolism of 5-methylcytosine Residues in DNA
The fundamental biochemical processes of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) synthesis, maintenance, conversion and removal determine the time and spatial pattern of DNA methylation. This has a strong effect on a plethora of physiological aspects of cellular metabolism.

Deamination of 5-Methylcytosine Residues in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
DNA demethylation in mammalia occurs after fertilization and during embryogenesis and accompanies cell aging and cancer transformation. With the help of the primer extension reaction, MALDI MS and DNA cleavage by thymine DNA glycosylase deamination of 5-methylcytosine residues has been shown to take place when the model methylated DNA duplexes are ...

Dynamics of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine during pronuclear development in equine zygotes produced by ICSI [PDF]
Background: Global epigenetic reprogramming is considered to be essential during embryo development to establish totipotency. In the classic model first described in the mouse, the genome-wide DNA demethylation is asymmetric between the paternal and the ...

In recent years, methylation modification regulators have been found to have essential roles in various tumor mechanisms. However, the relationships between N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (m5C) regulators and clear cell renal cell ...

Oxygenase Catalyzed 5-Methylcytosine Hydroxylation
Recent reports identify the oxygenase catalyzed production of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine as a modification to mammalian DNA (Kriaucionis and Heintz, 2009; Tahiliani et al., 2009). This discovery has potential far-reaching implications for epigenetic regulation and will stimulate efforts to identify new nucleic acid modifications.

5‐Methylcytosine in genes with methylation‐dependent regulation [PDF]
An asymmetric distribution of deoxy‐5‐methylcytidylic acid‐inhibiting restriction sites (dcm‐sites) takes place in ten human genes regulated by 5‐methylcytosine. These genes are dcm‐site enriched upstream and dcm‐site poor downstream. Along them, there is a scattering of hypermethylatable introns and hypomethylatable exons with a common code: the 5mCpG

Hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine by TET1 promotes active DNA demethylation in the adult brain
SUMMARY Cytosine methylation is the major covalent modification of mammalian genomic DNA and plays important roles in transcriptional regulation. The molecular mechanism underlying the enzymatic removal of this epigenetic mark, however, remains elusive ...

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Connections of Tet3 Dioxygenase with CXXC Zinc Finger Modules. [PDF]
Tet proteins are emerging as major epigenetic modulators of cell fate and plasticity. However, little is known about how Tet proteins are targeted to selected genomic loci in distinct biological contexts.
