Background Information
Oxidation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA by ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family of enzymes has been demonstrated to play a significant role in epigenetic regulation in mammals. Recent reaearch shows that Tet enzymes also possess the activity of catalyzing the formation of 5-hydroxymethylcytidine (5-hmrC) in RNA. It is known that RNA carries more than 100 distinct types of modifications, and these modifications modulate the structure and functions of RNA. Ribonucleoside 5-methylcytidine (m5C) is subject to oxidative processing in mammals, forming 5-hydroxymethylcytidine (hm5C) and 5-formylcytidine (f5C). Researchers have identified hm5C in total RNA from all three domains of life and in polyA-enriched RNA fractions from mammalian cells. This suggests m5C oxidation is a conserved process that could have critical regulatory functions inside cells (PMID: 25676849).Protocol for Dot Blot:https://www.ptglab.com/protocol/68579-1-IgDotBlot.pdf
