A Biochemical Characterization of the DNA Glycosylase DEMETER
The methylation state of DNA is important for gene expression, gene imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, and transposon silencing in mammals and plants. DNA methylation is established by methyltransferases to mark a silenced gene in the form of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). The mechanism of 5mC removal...
