Structural insights into how 5-hydroxymethylation influences transcription factor binding

Abstract

Transcription factor binding and high resolution crystallographic studies (1.3 Å) 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.
