Title:

Structural insights into how 5-hydroxymethylation influences transcription factor binding.

Journal:

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Nov 29.

Abstract:

Transcription factor binding and high resolution crystallographic studies (1.3 A) of Dickerson-Drew duplexes with cytosine, methylcytosine and hydroxymethylcytosine bases provide evidence that C-5 cytosine modifications could regulate transcription by context dependent effects on DNA transcription factor interactions.
