5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (Standard)

Overview

5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mdC) is an endogenous substrate of DNA methyltransferases (such as mammalian 5-C-MTase) and binds to DNA dependent on the formation of DNA stem-loop structures. 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine guides de novo DNA methylation by acting as a methylation mark and activates the methylation of adjacent CpG sites in single-stranded DNA through cis action. 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine regulates DNA methylation patterns by recruiting methyltransferases to specific chromatin regions, affecting chromatin condensation and gene expression. Its distribution in plant cells is related to cell proliferation and differentiation stages. The methylation level of 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine is low in proliferating cells and high in differentiated cells.
