Molecular mechanism for vitamin C-derived C5-glyceryl-methylcytosine DNA modification catalyzed by algal TET homologue CMD1

C5-glyceryl-methylcytosine is a DNA modification that plays a role in the regulation of green alga photosynthesis and is catalysed by CMD1, using vitamin C (VC) as a co-substrate. Here, the authors provide insights into the catalytic mechanism of CMD1 by determining the crystal structures of apo CMD...

Descripción
Sumario:C5-glyceryl-methylcytosine is a DNA modification that plays a role in the regulation of green alga photosynthesis and is catalysed by CMD1, using vitamin C (VC) as a co-substrate. Here, the authors provide insights into the catalytic mechanism of CMD1 by determining the crystal structures of apo CMD1 and CMD1 bound to either VC or DNA, as well as the ternary CMD1/VC/DNA complex structure.
