摘要: While methylcytosines serve as the fifth base encoding epigenetic information, they are also a dangerous endogenous mutagen due to their intrinsic instability. Methylcytosine undergoes spontaneous deamination, at rate much higher than cytosine, generate thymine. In mammals, two repair enzymes, thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and methyl-CpG binding domain 4 (MBD4), have evolved counteract mutagenic effect of methylcytosines. Both recognize G/T mismatches arising from methylcytosine deamination initiate base-excision that corrects them G/C pairs. However, mechanism by which methylation status repaired cytosines is restored has remained unknown. We show here methyltransferase Dnmt3a interacts with TDG. PWWP catalytic able mediate interaction TDG its N-terminus. The affects enzymatic activity both proteins: positively regulates TDG, while inhibits in vitro. These data suggest mechanistic link between remethylation sites affected deamination.
