Bioinformatic mapping of AlkB homology domains in viruses [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2005 Background AlkB-like proteins are members of the 2-oxoglutarate- and Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase superfamily. In Escherichia coli the protein protects RNA and DNA against damage from methylating agents. 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine are repaired by

Generalization of Classification of AlkB Family Alkane Monooxygenases from <i>Rhodococcus</i> (<i>sensu lato</i>) Group Based on Phylogenetic Analysis and Genomic Context Comparison. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciAlkane-oxidizing bacteria play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Rhodococcus species are well-known hydrocarbon degraders, distinguished by the harboring of multiple homologs of AlkB family alkane monooxygenases.

The Use of a Combination of alkB Primers to Better Characterize the Distribution of Alkane-Degrading Bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The alkane monooxygenase AlkB, which is encoded by the alkB gene, is a key enzyme involved in bacterial alkane degradation. To study the alkB gene within bacterial communities, researchers need to be aware of the variations in alkB nucleotide sequences ...
