Protocol for elucidating metabolite binding and regulation of TET2 dioxygenase

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Epigenetic enzyme activity is coupled to cellular metabolism through their reliance on metabolic cofactors and substrates. Here, we describe steps for combining biochemical assays and saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy to experimentally validate metabolite binding and assess the effect on TET2 activity. This protocol enables the identification of both TET2 activators and inhibitors, providing a framework for studying the interplay between metabolism and epigenetic regulation.
