Epigenetics of Modified DNA Bases: 5-Methylcytosine and Beyond
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Modification of DNA bases plays vital roles in the epigenetic control of gene expression in both animals and plants. Though much attention is given to the conventional epigenetic signature 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), the field of epigenetics is attracting ...

Engineering the DNA cytosine-5 methyltransferase reaction for sequence-specific labeling of DNA [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2012 DNA methyltransferases catalyse the transfer of a methyl group from the ubiquitous cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) onto specific target sites on DNA and play important roles in organisms from bacteria to humans. AdoMet analogs with extended propargylic side chains have been chemically produced for methyltransferase-directed transfer of ...

Fluorescent Method for the Detection of Biothiols Using an Ag+-Mediated Conformational Switch
Sensors, 2019 In this work, a novel, simple, and time-saving fluorescence approach for the detection of biothiols (glutathione and cysteine) was developed by employing a DNA probe labeled with 2-aminopurine.

PLoS ONE, 2014 The epigenetic DNA modifications 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in eukaryotes are recognized either in the context of double-stranded DNA (e.g., by the methyl-CpG binding domain of MeCP2), or in the flipped-out state (e.g., by ...

Discovery of Bacterial Deaminases That Convert 5-Fluoroisocytosine Into 5-Fluorouracil
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Cytosine is one of the four letters of a standard genetic code, found both in DNA and in RNA. This heterocyclic base can be converted into uracil upon the action of the well-known cytosine deaminase.

Scientific Reports, 2023 DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification detected in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNAs. In bacteria, the importance of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in gene expression has been less investigated than in eukaryotic systems.

rahu is a mutant allele of Dnmt3c, encoding a DNA methyltransferase homolog required for meiosis and transposon repression in the mouse male germline. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Transcriptional silencing by heritable cytosine-5 methylation is an ancient strategy to repress transposable elements. It was previously thought that mammals possess four DNA methyltransferase paralogs-Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b and Dnmt3l-that establish and ...
