The oxidative demethylase ALKBH3 marks hyperactive gene promoters in human cancer cells

BACKGROUND: The oxidative DNA demethylase ALKBH3 targets single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in order to perform DNA alkylation damage repair. ALKBH3 becomes upregulated during tumorigenesis and is necessary for proliferation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be understood. METHODS: To...
