Background
ALKBH3 (AlkB Homolog 3, Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dependent Dioxygenase) is a member of ALKBH protein family. It mediates demethylation of DNA and RNA containing 1-methyladenosine (m1A). It can repair alkylated DNA containing 1-methyladenosine (m1A) and 3-methylcytosine (m3C) by oxidative demethylation. ALKBH3 has a strong preference for single-stranded DNA. It is able to process alkylated m3C within double-stranded regions via its interaction with ASCC3, which promoting DNA unwinding to generate single-stranded substrate needed for ALKBH3. ALKBH3 also acts on RNA via demethylating N(1)-methyladenosine (m1A) RNA, an epigenetic internal modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) highly enriched within 5-untranslated regions (UTRs) and in the vicinity of start codons. The oxidative demethylation requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron.
Application Notes
Recombinant ALKBH3 protein is suitable for use in enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling.

ALKBH3 dioxygenase activity
1 µg of ssDNA oligos (5’-AAAGCAG(1mA)
ATTCGAAAAAGCGAAA-3’) was incubated with varying concentrations of ALKBH3 in a reaction system including 50 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 8.0, 50 µM Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, 1 mM 2-oxoglutarate, 2 mM ascorbate and 1 mM TCEP for 30 min at 37°C. Then ssDNA oligos were annealed with equimolar of non-methylated complement strand followed by 1 µg EcoRI digestion for 45 min at 37°C.
% reaction products were run on a 20% Native PAGE gel and stained by ethidium bromide.
Storage
Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
