Demethyltransferase AlkBH1 substrate diversity and relationship to human diseases
2021
Zhang, Ying | Wang, Caiyan
AlkBH1 is a member of the AlkB superfamily which are kinds of Fe (II) and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)-dependent dioxygenases. At present, only demethyltransferases FTO and AlkBH5 have relatively clear substrate studies among these members, the types and mechanisms of substrates catalysis of other members are not clear, especially the demethyltransferase AlkBH1. AlkBH1, as a demethylase, has important functions of reversing DNA methylation and repairing DNA damage. And it has become a promising target for the treatment of many cancers, the regulation of neurological and genetic related diseases. Many scholars have made important discoveries in the diversity of AlkBH1 substrates, but there is no comprehensive summary, which affects the design inhibitor target of AlkBH1. Herein, We are absorbed in the latest progress in the study of AlkBH1 substrate diversity and its relationship with human diseases. Besides, we also discuss future research directions and suggest other studies to reveal the specific catalytic effect of AlkBH1 on cancer substrates.
