The Escherichia coli DNA repair enzyme AlkB is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent Fe(2+) binding dioxygenase that removes methyl lesions from DNA and RNA. To date, nine human AlkB homologues are known: ABH1 to ABH8 and the obesity-related FTO. Similar to AlkB, these homologues exert their activity on nucleic acids, although for some homologues the biological substrate remains to be identified.
