Background
TET (Ten Eleven Translocation) family proteins are cytosine oxygenases that catalyze the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). 5hmC can be further oxidized into 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) by TET proteins. Methylation at the C5 position of cytosine is an epigenetic modification of the mammalian genome that plays an important role in transcriptional regulation. TET proteins are responsible for initiating the enzymatic deamination process leading to cytosine demethylation. TET2 plays an important role in normal myelopoiesis. Somatic loss-of-function mutations in TET2 gene frequently occur in patients with myeloid malignancies. TET2 loss increased hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and myeloid transformation. TET2 promotes histone O-GlcNAcylation during gene transcription in embryonic stem cells. In addition, TET2 can be recruited to chromatin by CXXC domain protein IDAX. IDAX downregulates TET2 protein by activating caspase pathway.
Application Notes
