Comments:
Exhibits two enzymatic activities: MTase domain provides the mcm5U precursor (ortholog of the yeast Trm9) while AlkB domain is a mchm5U synthesizing oxygenase (hydroxylase activity). AdoMet is the methyl group donor. Interaction with TRM112 is required for MTase activity only. Prior ALKBH8-mediated methylation is a prerequisite for sbsequent thiolation and 2'-O-ribose methylation that form 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U) and 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2'-O-methyluridine (mcm5Um), respectively. ABH8 depleted cells exhibit highly elevated levels of cm5U and lowered levels of mcm5U and shows an increase cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, attesting for possible regulatory role of ALKBH8 in the DNA damage response pathway. Complementary information in the case of fungi can be obtained under Trm9, Trm112 and Elongation complex Elf 1-6.Protein sequence:
