Protozoan ALKBH8 oxygenases display both DNA repair and tRNA modification activities.

Protozoan ALKBH8 oxygenases display both DNA repair and tRNA modification activities.

The ALKBH family of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases comprises enzymes that display sequence homology to AlkB from E. coli, a DNA repair enzyme that uses an oxidative mechanism to dealkylate methyl and etheno adducts on the nucleobases. Humans have nine different ALKBH proteins, ALKBH1...
