A Single-Turnover Kinetic Study of DNA Demethylation Catalyzed by Fe(II)/α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase AlkB

AlkB is a Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that repairs some alkylated bases of DNA and RNA in Escherichia coli. In the course of catalysis, oxidation of a co-substrate (α-ketoglutarate, αKG) leads to the formation of a highly reactive ‘oxyferryl’ enzyme-bound intermediate, Fe(IV) = O, e...
