The SCO1731 methyltransferase modulates actinorhodin production and morphological differentiation of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Streptomyces coelicolor is a Gram-positive microorganism often used as a model of physiological and morphological differentiation in streptomycetes, prolific producers of secondary metabolites with important biological activities.

Single-Base Resolution Analysis of 5-Formyl and 5-Carboxyl Cytosine Reveals Promoter DNA Methylation Dynamics

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Ten eleven translocation (Tet) proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). 5fC and 5caC can be further excised by thymine-DNA glycosylase (Tdg).

Epigenetic machinery is functionally conserved in cephalopods

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
Background Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are divergent across the animal kingdom, yet these mechanisms are not well studied in non-model organisms.

Determination of Methylation Site of DNA-Methyltransferase NlaX by a Hybrid Method

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2002
Using a new method based on a combination of bisulfite reaction, the repair enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase, and synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides, the methylation site of DNA-methyltransferase NlaX (M·NlaX) from Neisseria lactamica was established to be

Mammalian DNA (Cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase Expressed in Escherichia coli, Purified and Characterized [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
Besides modulating specific DNA-protein interactions, methylated cytosine, frequently referred to as the fifth base of the genome, also influences DNA structure, recombination, transposition, repair, transcription, imprinting, and mutagenesis. DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase catalyzes cytosine methylation in eukaryotes. We have cloned and expressed

Library Construction for Genome-wide Bisulfite Sequencing in Plants

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2013
DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic modification, which involves the addition of a methyl group to the carbon-5 position of cytosine residues in DNA. DNA methylation is important for the regulation of gene expression.

A Modified Protocol for Bisulfite Genomic Sequencing of Difficult Samples

open access: yesBiological Procedures Online, 2009
The bisulfite genomic sequencing protocol is a widely used method for analyzing DNA methylation. It relies on the deamination of unmethylated cytosine residues to uracil; however, its high rates of DNA degradation and incomplete cytosine to uracil ...

Double and single stranded detection of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine with nanopore sequencing

open access: yesCommunications Biology
5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) are modified versions of cytosine in DNA with roles in regulating gene expression. Using whole genomic DNA from mouse cerebellum, we benchmark 5mC and 5hmC detection by Oxford Nanopore ...

Plant cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferases: Structure, function, and molecular evolution

open access: yesGenomics, 2007
A detailed analysis of the structure and function, along with evolutionary aspects, of the main plant cytosine-5 DNA methyltransferases (C5-MTases) is presented. The evolutionary relationships between the already known and four candidate plant C5-MTases identified in this work were investigated using the distance, maximum-parsimony, and maximum ...
