ZBTB38 requires an extended N-terminal zinc finger network to read mCpG- and discriminate TpG-containing DNA sequences

Jared Boster, Cooper Gangi, Nicholas O. Hudson…·Bethany A. Buck‐Koehntop

This study identifies the DNA sequence preference and molecular mechanism of ZBTB38's N-terminal zinc finger domain in recognizing mCpG and distinguishing from TpG-containing DNA.
