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.
