	Fig. 8. Recent evolution of a TET-controlled and DPPA3-mediated pathway of DNA demethylation in boreoeutherian mammals.a In mammals, TET1 and TET2 are recruited by PRDM14 to the promoter of Dppa3 where they promote active DNA demethylation and transcription of Dppa3. In most cellular contexts, high fidelity maintenance DNA methylation is guaranteed by the concerted activities of UHRF1 and DNMT1 at newly replicated DNA. Both the recruitment and activation of DNMT1 critically depend on the binding and ubiquitination of H3 tails by UHRF1. In naïve pluripotent cells, DPPA3 is expressed and inhibits maintenance DNA methylation by directly binding UHRF1 via its PHD domain and releasing it from chromatin. b TET1 and TET2 control DNA methylation levels by two evolutionary and mechanistically distinct pathways. TET-mediated active demethylation regulates focal DNA methylation states e.g. developmental genes and is evolutionarily conserved among vertebrates. The use of TET proteins to promote global demethylation appears to be specific to mammalian pluripotency and mediated by the recently evolved Dppa3.
