Dot blot competition assay in which ab106918 was preincubated with 5-hydroxymethyl Cytidine (5hmC) at amounts indicated in figure. Specified amounts of 5hmC, methyl Cytidine (mC) and Cytidine (C) were spotted onto membranes and were then incubated with ab106918 that had been preincubated with 5hmC as shown in figure. ab106918 specifically recognized 5hmC and this was blocked by preincubation with 5hmC at 5 pmol/ug ab106918 (Ab).

Dot blot assay shows that ab106918 specifically recognized 5-hydroxymethyl Cytidine (hmC). Indicated amounts of hmC, methyl Cytidine (mC) and Cytidine (C) were spotted onto a membrane that was then incubated with ab106918. hmC, mC and C were generated in the following way : M13mp18 DNA had been amplified using primers F and R; F : atttccatgagcgtttttcc R : gcaaggcaaagaattagcaa. A 200 uM dNTP end concentration was used with 1. A,G,C,T and 2. A,G,hmC,T; where C had been replaced with HmdCTP. DNA was in vitro methylated with SssI and SAM, and 2ul of pmol of each base was denatured at 95C for 5 min and spotted and dried onto the membrane. The dot blot membrane was blocked with 10%skimmed milk + 1%BSA blocking overnight and then incubated with ab106918 at 1 : 500 in blocking solution. A goat anti rat HRP secondary antibody was used for ECL detection. This image is from an anonymous collaborator.

Specificity

Some reports suggest that this antibody will detect 5hmC in double stranded DNA, although this has not been reliably confirmed. The target epitope is partially obstructed by base-pairing, so the antibody will have a stronger affinity if the DNA is single stranded or depurinated.

Supplementary information

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) also known as hydroxymethylcytosine represents a significant epigenetic modification in DNA. This target with a mass of approximately 63.3 emerges through DNA demethylation processes where ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). It is found largely in the brain where it shows high levels of expression but it can also appear in other tissues to a lesser extent. The modification is important in regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular identity.
Biological function summary

5-hydroxymethylcytosine plays a critical role in epigenetic regulation and serves as an intermediary in the active DNA demethylation process. It is not part of a stable complex but interacts transiently during epigenetic reconfiguration. The presence of 5-hmC marks regulatory regions of genes and is involved in transcriptional activation or repression depending on the cellular context. Its levels are dynamic influenced by various developmental stages and environmental conditions.

Pathways

This DNA modification is an important player in pathways related to cellular differentiation and development. It is integrally involved in the DNA demethylation pathway where TET enzymes mediate its formation from 5-methylcytosine. This pathway also involves other modifications leading to cytosine turnover linking 5-hmC to broader chromatin remodeling processes. Proteins interacting with 5-hmC include TET enzymes and other DNA maintenance proteins which highlight its role in maintaining genomic stability.

Aberrant 5-hmC levels show connection to several pathological states including cancer and neurological disorders. Altered hydroxymethylation patterns often associate with tumorigenesis particularly in gliomas where the misregulation of 5-hmC accompanies cancer progression. Neurological disorders like Rett syndrome also exhibit altered levels of 5-hmC implicating its role in neurodevelopmental processes. In these diseases mutations in proteins such as TET enzymes link to disrupted 5-hmC levels indicating its critical involvement in both oncogenesis and neurodevelopmental regulation.
