TET2 (Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2) is a demethylase and ten-eleven translocation protein.
TET enzymes play a crucial role in DNA demethylation by oxidizing 5-methylcytosine (5mC), a key epigenetic marker, in a stepwise manner to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxycytosine (5caC)1-2. TET2 exhibits activity across various sequence contexts, including CpG, CHH, and CHG sites, whether hemi- or fully methylated3. However, the sequences flanking the target 5mC site influence the level of catalytic activity, with a preference for CG contexts. This sequence preference diminishes after the initial oxidation of 5mC to 5hmC4. Although 5mC is predominantly found in CpG sites within mammalian genomes, DNA methylation contexts are more diverse in both invertebrate and plant genomes5.
