MeSH Heading: AlkB Enzymes
Tree Number(s): D08.811.074.062; D08.811.682.690.416.139
Unique ID: D000071496
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000071496
Scope Note: A family of alpha- KETOGLUTARIC ACID and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases that are homologous to AlkB, an enzyme that repairs alkylated nucleic acids in E. coli. The mammalian homologs have diverse substrate specificities and functions that include DNA REPAIR, generating unique wobble modifications in URIDINE tRNA, demethylation of nucleotides in DNA and RNA, and demethylation of LYSINE residues on certain proteins, including ACTIN and histones (HISTONE CODE).
Entry Term(s): AlkB Homologs; Alkylated DNA Repair Protein AlkB Homologs; Alkylation Repair Homolog Proteins; Alkylation Repair Homologs
