The Escherichia coli AlkB protein protects against the cytotoxicity of methylating agents by repair of the specific DNA lesions generated in single-stranded DNA. ALKBH2 (MIM 610602) and ALKBH3 are E. coli AlkB homologs that catalyze the removal of 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine (Duncan et al., 2002 [PubMed 12486230]).[supplied by OMIM
免疫原
DEPC-1 (AAH15155, 1 a.a. ~ 139 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
DEPC-1 is a DNA/RNA demethylase which has a high affinity for single-stranded DNA and RNA. It has been shown to demethylate N1-methyladenosine in mRNA and tRNA in vitro. DEPC-1 has a role in the development of prostate cancer and has been linked to urothelial carcinomas.

Gene expression can be regulated post-transcriptionally through dynamic and reversible RNA modifications. A recent noteworthy example is N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A), which affects messenger RNA (mRNA) localization, stability, translation and splicing. Here we report on a new mRNA modification, N(1)-methyladenosine (m(1)A), that

N(1)-Methyladenosine (m(1)A) is a prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modification, yet little is known about its abundance, topology and dynamics in mRNA. Here, we show that m(1)A is prevalent in Homo sapiens mRNA, which shows an m(1)A/A ratio of ∼0.02%. We develop

The role and function of a novel human AlkB homologue, ALKBH3, in human urothelial carcinoma development were examined. Biologic roles of ALKBH3 were examined by gene silencing analysis using in vitro and in vivo siRNA transfection. Immunohistochemical analyses of ALKBH3
Prostate cancer antigen-1 (PCA-1)/ALKBH3 has been recently identified in human prostate cancer and its expression is correlated with disease progression and prognosis. However, the precise role and function of PCA-1/ALKBH3 in human malignancies are largely unknown. In the present study
