Regulation of DNA methylation by EBV (LMP1). The balance of DNA methylation- demethylation dynamics is maintained by DNMTs and TETs. DNMTs transfer methyl groups to cytosine and create 5mC. TETs iteratively oxidize 5mC to generate oxi-mCs (5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC). EBV (LMP1) enhances DNMT1 expression and activity, and also inhibit the enzymatic activity of TETs, which might tip the balance. FH fumarate hydratase, IDH2 isocitrate dehydrogenase 2
