Cytoplasmic localization of 5hmC reveals RNA hydroxymethylation in breast cancer
DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) is a major repressive epigenetic mark that can be iteratively oxidized by ten-eleven-translocation (TET) enzymes to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC); beyond DNA, modifications of RNA can also affect transcript stability and processing, yet RNA hydroxymethylation remains unexplored in breast cancer (BC). Here, we identify a quantifiable cytoplasmic 5hmC signal…
