Molecular mechanism for vitamin C-derived C5-glyceryl-methylcytosine DNA modification catalyzed by algal TET homologue CMD1

C5-glyceryl-methylcytosine is a DNA modification that plays a role in the regulation of green alga photosynthesis and is catalysed by CMD1, using vitamin C (VC) as a co-substrate. Here, the authors provide insights into the catalytic mechanism of CMD1 by determining the crystal structures of apo CMD...
