MiR-141-3p Promotes Malignant Progression in Prostate Cancer through AlkB Homolog 5-Mediated m6A Modification of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 6

open access: yesChinese Journal of Physiology, 2023
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in males worldwide and exploring more reliable biomarkers for PCa is essential for the diagnosis and therapeutics for the disease. Although the functions of miR-141-3p and AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) were identified in some cancers, whether they were ...

PbrIDD2‐PbrAPX14 Module Functions in the Ethylene‐Mediated Ripening and Senescence Process of Pear Fruit

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4878-4896, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Endogenous H2O2 participated in the ethylene‐dependent ripening and senescence process of horticultural fruit as a secondary messenger; however, the molecular mechanism beneath such a phenomenon has not been fully clarified until recently. By a conjoint analysis of metabolite, enzyme activities, gene expression profiles in AsA‐GSH cycle of ...

Molecular Mechanism of the IRF1/NFE2L1‐DT/ALKBH5/Cx43 Axis in Radiation‐Induced Injury in Vascular Endothelial Cells Through Pyroptosis

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy effectively eradicates tumor cells but can also trigger pyroptotic damage in vascular endothelial cells. This study investigates the role of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) in radiation‐induced endothelial injury, aiming to provide mechanistic insights for optimizing radiotherapy.

Molecular Cloning and Functional Analysis of a Human cDNA Encoding an Escherichia Coli AlkB Homolog, a Protein Involved in DNA Alkylation Damage Repair [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1996
The Escherichia coli AlkB protein is involved in protecting cells against mutation and cell death induced specifically by SN2-type alkylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). A human cDNA encoding a polypeptide homologous to E.coli AlkB was discovered by searching a database of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) derived from high throughput ...

Methyltransferase‐Like 14 Promotes the Angiogenesis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a pivotal epitranscriptomic regulator implicated in tumor progression. As a core component of the m6A methyltransferase complex, METTL14 is known to suppress tumorigenesis; however, its specific role in tumor angiogenesis remains elusive. Given that Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA)

Prediction of the molecular boundary and functionality of novel viral AlkB domains using homology modelling and principal component analysis

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2019
Alkylation B (AlkB) proteins are ubiquitous among diverse cellular organisms, where they act to reverse the damage in DNA and RNA due to methylation, such as 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine. This process is found in virtually all forms of life, with the notable exception of archaea and yeast.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Characterization of human AlkB homolog 1 produced in mammalian cells and demonstration of mitochondrial dysfunction in ALKBH1-deficient cells

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018
Alkbh1 is a mammalian homolog of the Escherichia coli DNA repair enzyme AlkB, an Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase that removes alkyl lesions from DNA bases. The human homolog ALKBH1 has been associated with six different enzymatic activities including DNA, mRNA, or tRNA hydroxylation, cleavage at abasic (AP) sites in DNA, as well as ...
