Summary

[edit]
Description Figure 2. Chemical structures of TET-oxidized products. The DNA base cytosine can be methylated as epigenetic regulation at the DNA level by DNMTs. DNA methylation affects transcription and governs genomic stability during development as well as cancer progression. The methylated product (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) can be reversed actively by a set of enzymes, TET proteins and TDG back to cytosine. The intermediate products include: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). The amount of 5hmC serves as a marker to indicate the status of DNA demethylation. Loss of 5hmC is often seen in cancers, particularly in myeloid and leukemia. TET: the Ten-eleven translocation family protein; DNMT: DNA methyltransferase; TDG: thymine-DNA glycosylase.
