We developed a novel strategy by oxidation-derivatization combined mass spectrometry analysis for the determination of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and 5-formylcytosine in both DNA and RNA. We reported the presence of 5-formylcytosine in RNA of mammals and found that ascorbic acid and hydroquinone can increase the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA and RNA.
我们开发了一种通过氧化衍生化结合质谱分析的新策略,用于测定DNA和RNA中的5-羟甲基胞嘧啶和5-甲酰基胞嘧啶。我们报道了哺乳动物RNA中5-甲酰基胞嘧啶的存在,并发现抗坏血酸和对苯二酚可以增加DNA和RNA中5-甲基胞嘧啶向5-羟甲基胞嘧啶的氧化。
