Activity of alkanmonooxygenase alkB gene in strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria isolated from petroleum products

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022
Alkanmonooxygenase enzymes AlkB and Cyp153 are responsible for the aerobic degradation of n-alkanes of petroleum and petroleum products. To prove the usage of n-alkanes from oil and petroleum products by hydrocarbon- oxidizing bacteria isolated from ...

CPA-seq reveals small ncRNAs with methylated nucleosides and diverse termini

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2021
High-throughput sequencing reveals the complex landscape of small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs). However, it is limited by requiring 5′-monophosphate and 3′-hydroxyl in RNAs for adapter ligation and hindered by methylated nucleosides that interfere with reverse

ALKBH1-8 and FTO: Potential Therapeutic Targets and Prognostic Biomarkers in Lung Adenocarcinoma Pathogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The AlkB family consists of Fe(II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases that can catalyze demethylation on a variety of substrates, such as RNA and DNA, subsequently affecting tumor progression and prognosis.

Pseudomonas putida AlkA and AlkB proteins comprise different defense systems for the repair of alkylation damage to DNA - in vivo, in vitro, and in silico studies. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Alkylating agents introduce cytotoxic and/or mutagenic lesions to DNA bases leading to induction of adaptive (Ada) response, a mechanism protecting cells against deleterious effects of environmental chemicals.

In Vivo Evolution of Butane Oxidation by Terminal Alkane Hydroxylases AlkB and CYP153A6 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Enzymes of the AlkB and CYP153 families catalyze the first step in the catabolism of medium-chain-length alkanes, selective oxidation of the alkane to the 1-alkanol, and enable their host organisms to utilize alkanes as carbon sources.

Characterization of diesel-degrading, hydrolytic enzymes-producing Streptomyces spp. isolated from fuel-oil polluted soils

open access: yesArab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Thirty-four different soil Streptomyces isolates previously recovered from soils of different gas stations that were historically polluted with fuel oil for long time were analyzed for their ability to produce five different hydrolytic enzymes, as well ...

Novel AlkB dioxygenases--alternative models for in silico and in vivo studies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundALKBH proteins, the homologs of Escherichia coli AlkB dioxygenase, constitute a direct, single-protein repair system, protecting cellular DNA and RNA against the cytotoxic and mutagenic activity of alkylating agents, chemicals significantly ...

Influence of compost amendments on the diversity of alkane degrading bacteria in hydrocarbon contaminated soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Alkane degrading microorganisms play an important role for bioremediation of petrogenic contaminated environments. In this study, we investigated the effects of compost addition on the diversity of alkane monooxygenase gene (alkB) harboring bacteria in ...

Adaptive Response Enzyme AlkB Preferentially Repairs 1-Methylguanine and 3-Methylthymine Adducts in Double-Stranded DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The AlkB protein is a repair enzyme that uses an α-ketoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent mechanism to repair alkyl DNA adducts. AlkB has been reported to repair highly susceptible substrates, such as 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine, more efficiently in ss ...
