Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent posttranscriptional modification in eukaryotic mRNAs. AlkB homologs (ALKBHs) are involved in plant responses to stress by modulating m6A methylation.

A novel alkane monooxygenase (alkB) clade revealed by massive genomic survey and its dissemination association with IS elements [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Alkanes are important components of fossil energy, such as crude oil. The alkane monooxygenase encoded by alkB gene performs the initial step of alkane degradation under aerobic conditions.

Detecting genetics of several isolated bacterial species from soils by hydrocarbons [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2022 The presence of hydrocarbons in the soil is considered one of the main problems of pollution. In our current study, eight samples isolated from soil saturated with hydrocarbons were taken from different areas of Baghdad, Iraq.

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 ...

The role of demethylase AlkB homologs in cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 The AlkB family (ALKBH1-8 and FTO), a member of the Fe (II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily, has shown the ability to catalyze the demethylation of a variety of substrates, including DNA, RNA, and histones.

Genome-wide sequence identification and expression analysis of N6-methyladenosine demethylase in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) under salt stress [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 In eukaryotes, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant and highly conserved RNA modification. In vivo, m6A demethylase dynamically regulates the m6A level by removing the m6A marker where it plays an important role in plant growth, development and ...
