Engineered Split-TET2 Enzyme for Inducible Epigenetic Remodeling
Abstract
The conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and further oxidized species is catalyzed by the Ten-eleven translocation (TET) methylcytosine dioxygenase. Here we provided a temporal control of 5mC oxidation and subsequent remodeling of epigenetic states through a split-TET2 enzyme system in mammalian cells. This chemical-inducible epigenome remodeling tool provides a precise way to interrogate cellular systems and probe the epigenotype-phenotype relations in various biological systems.
