Chemical Biology of Lysine Demethylases [PDF]

Current Chemical Genomics, 2011
Abnormal levels of DNA methylation and/or histone modifications are observed in patients with a wide variety of chronic diseases. Methylation of lysines within histone tails is a key modification that contributes to increased gene expression or repression depending on the specific residue and degree of methylation, which is in turn controlled by the ...

Metabolic Memory in Cardiovascular Disease: Encoding, Propagation, and Therapeutic Targeting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular risk often persists after metabolic abnormalities are corrected. This conceptual Review frames such persistence as metabolic memory, encoded through a narrowing therapeutic window from reversible marks to irreversible damage, with continuous input from peripheral organs.

m6A demethylase CpALKBH regulates CpZap1 mRNA stability to modulate the development and virulence of chestnut blight fungus

mBio
As the most abundant eukaryotic mRNA modification, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a crucial role in regulating multiple biological processes. This methylation is regulated by methyltransferases and demethylases.

Structural requirements for substrate recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 14α-demethylase: implications for sterol biosynthesis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Sterol 14α-demethylase (14DM) is a cytochrome P-450 involved in sterol biosynthesis in eukaryotes. It was reported that Mycobacterium smegmatis also makes cholesterol and that cholesterol is essential to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) infection ...

AL398, A Novel NSUN6 Inhibitor, Attenuates Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Metastasis in Endometrial Cancer by Abrogating m5C‐Dependent Stabilization of Snail mRNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Proposed molecular mechanism: NSUN6 catalyzes m5C methylation on Snail mRNA to enhance its stability, leading to Snail upregulation and EMT promotion. The first‐in‐class inhibitor AL398 suppresses endometrial cancer metastasis by targeting the NSUN6‐m5C‐Snail. axis. ABSTRACT Endometrial cancer (EC) constitutes a leading gynecologic malignancy for which

A real-time PCR-based quantitative assay for 3-methylcytosine demethylase activity of ALKBH3

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2016
Human AlkB homolog 3 (ALKBH3), a homolog of the Escherichia coli protein AlkB, demethylates 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine (3-meC) in single-stranded DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation.

ACSL4‐Dependent Lysosomal Lipid Peroxidation Links WTAP‐Mediated m6A Modification to Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐1β upregulates the protein level of WTAP, which promotes the m6A modification of ACSL4 mRNA in an IGF2BP2‐dependent manner, thereby enhancing its stability. The increased ACSL4 drives lipid peroxidation, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and impaired mitophagy, which collectively accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).

Restoration of m6A‐Modified circPSMB1 Suppresses Chordoma Progression and Enables Local Nanotherapeutic Intervention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An m6A‐modified circRNA, circPSMB1, is identified as a tumor suppressor in chordoma. METTL3‐dependent m6A promotes circPSMB1 interaction with HNRNPA2B1, limiting c‐MYC expression and malignant progression. An injectable HMnO2‐based nanohydrogel enables local circPSMB1 delivery and tumor microenvironment‐responsive therapy, offering a promising strategy
