Abstract

En 中文
Ten eleven translocation (TET) proteins are central regulators of DNA methylation homeostasis and play essential roles in development and disease, including hematopoietic malignancies. Among the three TET family members, mutations in TET2 are frequently observed in hematologic disorders. TET enzymes catalyze the iterative oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and further oxidized derivatives, enabling DNA demethylation. Beyond catalysis, TET proteins also perform important non-enzymatic functions mediated through interactions with diverse protein partners, highlighting the importance of defining their regulatory interactome. Previous studies identified several TET-associated factors, including O-Linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT), members of the Drosophila behavior/human splicing (DBHS) protein family, and proline and serine-rich protein 1 (PROSER1). However, these interactions were largely considered independently. Recent findings now demonstrate that TET proteins, OGT, PROSER1, and DBHS proteins assemble into a higher-order regulatory unit termed the TOPD (TET-OGT-PROSER1-DBHS) complex. In this review, we discuss how TOPD provides a conceptual framework for understanding multicomponent regulation of TET function, spatial control of DNA demethylation, and maintenance of epigenetic homeostasis, with implications for developmental syndromes and hematopoiesis.
