Nei-like 1 (NEIL1) excises 5-carboxylcytosine directly and stimulates TDG-mediated 5-formyl and 5-carboxylcytosine excision

Abstract Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and Nei-like 1 (NEIL1) have both been implicated in the base excision repair step of active DNA demethylation. The robust glycosylase activity of TDG on DNA substrates containing 5-formylcytosine (5fC) or 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) is universally accepted, but t...
