The oxidation and deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA generates a base-pair between 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) and guanine. 5hmU normally forms a base-pair with adenine. Therefore, the conversion of 5mC to 5hmU is a potential pathway for the generation of 5mC

Cytosine residues in mammalian DNA occur in at least three forms, cytosine (C), 5-methylcytosine (M; 5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (H; 5hmC). During semi-conservative DNA replication, hemi-methylated (M/C) and hemi-hydroxymethylated (H/C) CpG dinucleotides are transiently generated, where only the parental strand is

In order to eliminate the possibility that diet may influence urinary oxidative DNA lesion levels, in our experiments we used a recently developed technique involving HPLC pre-purification followed by gas chromatography with isotope dilution mass spectrometric detection. This methodology was

The mammalian DNA glycosylase--methyl-CpG binding domain protein 4 (MBD4)--is involved in active DNA demethylation via the base excision repair pathway. MBD4 contains an N-terminal MBD and a C-terminal DNA glycosylase domain. MBD4 can excise the mismatched base paired with a

Discovery of novel antimycobacterial compounds that work on distinctive targets and by diverse mechanisms of action is urgently required for the treatment of mycobacterial infections due to the emerging global health threat of tuberculosis. We have identified a new class
