Abstract
The enzymatic release of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine from T2 bacteriophage DNA was effected by an extract of calf thymus. Like the previously described 5-hydroxymethyluracil DNA glycosylase, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA glycosylase was not detectable in bacterial extracts. The phylogenetic distribution of these activities indicates that their primary function is the maintenance of methylcytosine residues in differentiated tissue.Entities:
