Eraserhead: Stem cells seem to erase epigenetic information by decarboxylation of the newly discovered epigenetic base 5-carboxycytosine (caC; see picture). This reaction is likely to involve a nucleophilic attack of the C5-C6 double bond.
《橡皮头》:干细胞似乎通过新发现的表观遗传碱基 5-羧基胞嘧啶(caC;见图)的脱羧作用来擦除表观遗传信息。该反应可能涉及 C5-C6 双键的亲核攻击。
