DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark established by the combined actions of methylation and demethylation reactions. Plants use a base excision repair pathway for active DNA demethylation. After 5-methylcytosine removal, the Arabidopsis DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1 incises the DNA backbone and part of the product has a single-nucleotide gap flanked by 3'- and 5'-phosphate termini. Here we show that the DNA phosphatase ZDP removes the blocking 3' phosphate, allowing subsequent DNA polyme ...[more]
