Summary
Protein Function
ALKBH5 belongs to the conserved AlkB family of non-heme Fe(II)/alpha-KG-dependent dioxygenases that repair N-alkylated nucleobases by oxidative demethylation. It could catalyze the demethylation of m6A of ssRNA. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent and abundant internal methylated nucleoside in mammalian mRNA and is also found in the RNA of plants and viruses. Mapping of m6A in human and mouse RNA identified that m6A modification happens mainly within the consensus sequence (G/A)(G/A)m6AC(A/C/U) in a non-stoichiometric manner with only three to five m6A sites observed per mRNA molecule.m6A sites are enriched near stop codons and in the 3'-UTR of mRNA.
ALKBH5 is localized to the nucleus, has 2OG and iron-dependent activity and is upregulated under hypoxic conditions by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factor pathway. ALKBH5 was observed to be highly expressed in the lung, followed by testis, pancreas, spleen and ovary. It was also reported that ALKBH5 localized to nuclear speckles and that decreased ALKBH5 levels affect mRNA export and processing, leading to altered spermatogenesis.
