Distinct RNA N-Demethylation Pathways Catalyzed by Non-Heme Iron ALKBH5 and FTO Enzymes Enable Regulation of Formaldehyde Release Rates
2020-08-18
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The AlkB family of non-heme-Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate(2OG)-dependent oxygenases are essential regulators of RNA epigenetics by serving as erasers of one-carbon marks on RNA with release of formaldehyde (FA). Two major human AlkB family members, FTO and ALKBH5, both act as oxidative demethylases of N6 methyladenosine (m6A) but furnish different major products, N6 hydroxymethyladenosine (hm6A) and adenosine (A)...
