چکیده
TET-mediated 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) oxidation acts in epigenetic regulation, stem cell development, and cancer. Hu et al. now determine the crystal structure of the TET2 catalytic domain bound to DNA, shedding light on 5mC-DNA substrate recognition and the catalytic mechanism of 5mC oxidation.

Oxygen and iron regulation of iron regulatory protein 2.
Iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2) is a central regulator of cellular iron homeostasis due to its regulation of specific mRNAs encoding proteins of iron uptake and storage. Iron regulates IRP2 by mediating its rapid proteasomal degradation, where hypoxia and the hypoxia mimetics CoCl2 and desferrioxamine (DFO) stabilize it. Previous studies showed that iron-mediated degradation of IRP2 requires t...
متن کاملJBP1 and 2 are Fe/2-OG Dependent Dioxygenases Regulating the Hydroxylation of Thymidine Residues in Trypanosome DNA
We have recently demonstrated that O-linked glucosylation of thymine in trypanosome DNA (base J) regulates Pol II transcription initiation. In vivo analysis has indicated that base J synthesis is initiated by the hydroxylation of thymidine by proteins (JBP1 and JBP2) homologous to the Fe/2-OG dependent dioxygenase superfamily where hydroxylation is driven by the oxidative decarboxylation of 2OG...
متن کاملThe S. pombe Histone H2A Dioxygenase Ofd2 Regulates Gene Expression during Hypoxia
Post-translational modification of histone proteins are known to play an important role in regulating chromatin structure. In an effort to find additional histone modifications we set out to screen enzymes of the 2-oxoglutarate and Fe(II)-dependent (2-OG-Fe(II)) dioxygenase family for activity towards histones. Here we show that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe 2-OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase domain conta...
متن کاملStructure and Mechanism of a Viral Collagen Prolyl Hydroxylase
The Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent dioxygenases comprise a large and diverse enzyme superfamily the members of which have multiple physiological roles. Despite this diversity, these enzymes share a common chemical mechanism and a core structural fold, a double-stranded β-helix (DSBH), as well as conserved active site residues. The prolyl hydroxylases are members of this large super...
متن کاملSubstrate based inhibitors of Strawberry Dioxygenase: Homology Models
The stereoselective oxidation of an unreactive alkane C-H bond is most often carried out by monoxygenases or oxygenases including dioxygenases which use iron as a cofactor and constitute a family of enzymes, e.g. Redox enzymes. A dioxygenase is an enzyme which incorporates both the atoms of molecular oxygen into kinds of substrates. The oxidative transformation reactions are common reactions du...
