Gene nameALKBH8
Protein nameAlkB homolog 8, tRNA methyltransferase
Alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 8 (Probable alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase ABH8) (S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent tRNA methyltransferase ABH8) (tRNA (carboxymethyluridine(34)-5-O)-methyltransferase ABH8) (EC 2.1.1.229)
SynonymsABH8
DescriptionFUNCTION: Catalyzes the methylation of 5-carboxymethyl uridine to 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in tRNA via its methyltransferase domain . Catalyzes the last step in the formation of 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in target tRNA . Has a preference for tRNA(Arg) and tRNA(Glu), and does not bind tRNA(Lys). Binds tRNA and catalyzes the iron and alpha-ketoglutarate dependent hydroxylation of 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in tRNA via its dioxygenase domain, giving rise to 5-(S)-methoxycarbonylhydroxymethyluridine; has a preference for tRNA(Gly) . Required for normal survival after DNA damage . May inhibit apoptosis and promote cell survival and angiogenesis . .
