Our results demonstrated that each TET protein has a distinct, separate contribution to generating active demethylation products. The absence of individual TET paralog is linked with the specific pattern of active demethylation products in DNA, which is preserved after vitamin C treatment. Therefore, the deletion of one of the TET enzymes cannot be compensated for by the increased activity of the other TET family members, highlighting the unique roles of each TET paralog in epigenetic regulation.
