The DNA demethylase TET1 recognises chromatin via nucleosome engagement of its N-terminal region
TET1 is a DNA demethylase critical for mammalian embryonic development, yet how it is recruited to its chromatin substrate remains poorly understood. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized N-terminal region of TET1 that directly binds nucleosomes and promotes chromatin binding in mouse embryonic stem cells. Robust chromatin association was evidenced by fluorescence recovery after…
