Popis: The TET-oxidized cytosine derivatives, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and 5-formylcytosine (5fC), are considered DNA demethylation intermediates as well as stable epigenetic marks in mammals. We compared modified cytosine and enzyme levels in TET-knockout cells during naive pluripotency exit and found distinct and differentiation-dependent contributions of TET1 and TET2 to 5hmC and 5fC formation. The divergent modified cytosine levels argue for independent consecutive oxidation steps in vivo with broad implications for epigenetic regulation.
