ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.11.80

Accepted Name
methylcytosine dioxygenase
Reaction catalysed
  • 2-oxoglutarate + a 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + O2 = a 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + CO2 + succinate
  • 2-oxoglutarate + a 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + O2 = a 5-formyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + CO2 + H2O + succinate
  • 2-oxoglutarate + a 5-formyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + O2 = a 5-carboxyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA + CO2 + H(+) + succinate
Comment(s)
  • The TET proteins mediate iterative oxidation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA (5mc) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC).
  • 5fC and 5caC are recognized by EC 3.2.2.29, which excises them, leaving an apyrimidinic site.
  • Coupled with the base excision repair (BER) pathway, these activities result in a cytosine demethylation pathway.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.11.n2.
