Roles of oxygenases in nucleic acid modification
- Abstract:
-
2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) and Fe(II) dependent oxygenases have a broad range of substrates, extending from histones to fatty acids. Several 2OG oxygenases have nucleic acid substrates, with members of the AlkB subfamily being responsible for nucleic acid modification and repair. The AlkB protein itself is part of the Escherichia coli adaptive response, protecting the DNA from methylation damage. Methyl lesions are repaired by a direct removal mechanism via a hydroxylated intermediate, with rele...
