    Description: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is a modified base present at low levels in diverse cell types in mammals. 5hmC is generated by the TET family of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes through oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). 5hmC and TET proteins have been implicated in stem cell biology and cancer, but information on the genome-wide distribution of 5hmC is limited. Here we describe two novel and specific approaches to profile the genomic localization of 5hmC. The first approach, termed GLIB (glucosylation, periodate oxidation, biotinylation) uses a combination of enzymatic and chemical steps to isolate DNA fragments containing as few as a single 5hmC. The second approach involves conversion of 5hmC to cytosine 5-methylenesulphonate (CMS) by treatment of genomic DNA with sodium bisulphite, followed by immunoprecipitation of CMS-containing DNA with a specific antiserum to CMS. High-throughput sequencing of 5hmC-containing DNA from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells showed strong enrichment within exons and near transcriptional start sites. 5hmC was especially enriched at the start sites of genes whose promoters bear dual histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) marks. Our results indicate that 5hmC has a probable role in transcriptional regulation, and suggest a model in which 5hmC contributes to the 'poised' chromatin signature found at developmentally-regulated genes in ES cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3124347/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3124347/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pastor, William A -- Pape, Utz J -- Huang, Yun -- Henderson, Hope R -- Lister, Ryan -- Ko, Myunggon -- McLoughlin, Erin M -- Brudno, Yevgeny -- Mahapatra, Sahasransu -- Kapranov, Philipp -- Tahiliani, Mamta -- Daley, George Q -- Liu, X Shirley -- Ecker, Joseph R -- Milos, Patrice M -- Agarwal, Suneet -- Rao, Anjana -- 1 R01 HD065812-01A1/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- 1 UL1 RR 025758-02/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL089150/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL089150-01A1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044432/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044432-10/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI44432/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD065812/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD065812-01A1/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DA028422/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DA028422-02/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR025758/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 May 19;473(7347):394-7. doi: 10.1038/nature10102.

    Description: TET2 is a close relative of TET1, an enzyme that converts 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA. The gene encoding TET2 resides at chromosome 4q24, in a region showing recurrent microdeletions and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH) in patients with diverse myeloid malignancies. Somatic TET2 mutations are frequently observed in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), MDS/MPN overlap syndromes including chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), acute myeloid leukaemias (AML) and secondary AML (sAML). We show here that TET2 mutations associated with myeloid malignancies compromise catalytic activity. Bone marrow samples from patients with TET2 mutations displayed uniformly low levels of 5hmC in genomic DNA compared to bone marrow samples from healthy controls. Moreover, small hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated depletion of Tet2 in mouse haematopoietic precursors skewed their differentiation towards monocyte/macrophage lineages in culture. There was no significant difference in DNA methylation between bone marrow samples from patients with high 5hmC versus healthy controls, but samples from patients with low 5hmC showed hypomethylation relative to controls at the majority of differentially methylated CpG sites. Our results demonstrate that Tet2 is important for normal myelopoiesis, and suggest that disruption of TET2 enzymatic activity favours myeloid tumorigenesis. Measurement of 5hmC levels in myeloid malignancies may prove valuable as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, to tailor therapies and assess responses to anticancer drugs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3003755/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3003755/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ko, Myunggon -- Huang, Yun -- Jankowska, Anna M -- Pape, Utz J -- Tahiliani, Mamta -- Bandukwala, Hozefa S -- An, Jungeun -- Lamperti, Edward D -- Koh, Kian Peng -- Ganetzky, Rebecca -- Liu, X Shirley -- Aravind, L -- Agarwal, Suneet -- Maciejewski, Jaroslaw P -- Rao, Anjana -- 1 UL1 RR 025758-02/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- K08 HL089150/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K24 HL077522/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044432/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044432-12/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044432-13/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI44432/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD065812/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG4069/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL098522/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA042471/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA042471-20/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA042471-21/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DA028422/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DA028422-01/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DA028422-02/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR025758/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Dec 9;468(7325):839-43. doi: 10.1038/nature09586.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Immune Disease Institute and Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21057493" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: TET/JBP enzymes oxidize 5-methylpyrimidines in DNA. In mammals, the oxidized methylcytosines (oxi-mCs) function as epigenetic marks and likely intermediates in DNA demethylation. Here we present a method based on diglucosylation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) to simultaneously map 5hmC, 5-formylcytosine, and 5-carboxylcytosine at near–base-pair resolution. We have used the method to map...
