背景介绍

ALKBH3 (AlkB Homolog 3, Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dependent Dioxygenase) is a member of ALKBH protein family. It mediates demethylation of DNA and RNA containing 1-methyladenosine (m1A). It can repair alkylated DNA containing 1-methyladenosine (m1A) and 3-methylcytosine (m3C) by oxidative demethylation. ALKBH3 has a strong preference for single-stranded DNA. It is able to process alkylated m3C within double-stranded regions via its interaction with ASCC3, which promoting DNA unwinding to generate single-stranded substrate needed for ALKBH3. ALKBH3 also acts on RNA via demethylating N(1)-methyladenosine (m1A) RNA, an epigenetic internal modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) highly enriched within 5-untranslated regions (UTRs) and in the vicinity of start codons. The oxidative demethylation requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron.

Application Notes

Recombinant ALKBH3 protein is suitable for use in enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling.

Storage

Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
