An AP endonuclease functions in active DNA demethylation and gene imprinting in Arabidopsis [corrected].

An AP endonuclease functions in active DNA demethylation and gene imprinting in Arabidopsis [corrected].

Active DNA demethylation in plants occurs through base excision repair, beginning with removal of methylated cytosine by the ROS1/DME subfamily of 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylases. Active DNA demethylation in animals requires the DNA glycosylase TDG or MBD4, which functions after oxidation or deami...
