1.14.11.53

Accepted name:

mRNA N⁶-methyladenine demethylase

Reaction:

N⁶-methyladenine in mRNA + 2-oxoglutarate + O₂ = adenine in mRNA + formaldehyde + succinate + CO₂

Other name(s):

ALKBH5; FTO

Systematic name:

mRNA-N⁶-methyladenosine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (formaldehyde-forming)

Comments:

Contains iron(II). Catalyses oxidative demethylation of mRNA N⁶-methyladenine. The FTO enzyme from human can also demethylate N³-methylthymine from single stranded DNA and N³-methyluridine from single stranded RNA [1,2] with low activity [3].
