A cytosine modification mechanism revealed by the structure of a ternary complex of deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase from bacteriophage T4 with its cofactor and substrate

To protect viral DNA against the host bacterial restriction system, bacterio­phages utilize a special modification system – hydroxymethylation – in which dCMP hydroxymethylase (dCH) converts dCMP to 5-hydroxymethyl-dCMP (5hm-dCMP) using N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate as a cofactor. Despite shared...
