physiological function | ALKBH3 is a 1-methyladenosine and 3-methylcytidine demethylase of tRNA. ALKBH3 can promote cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The m1A demethylated tRNA is more sensitive to angiogenin cleavage, followed by generating tRNA-derived small RNAs around the anticodon regions. in ALKBH3-/- HeLa cells, m1A level of tRNA in cytoplasm, but not in nucleus, is remarkably higher than that of wild type cells. Deletion of ALKBH3 significantly increases the m1A levels of most target tRNAs such as tRNAGluCTC, tRNASeCTCA, tRNAGlyGCC, tRNAHisGTG, tRNASerGCT, tRNAGlnCTG, tRNAValCAC, tRNAArgCCT, tRNALeuCAA, tRNAGlyCCC, tRNAAlaCGC and tRNAeMetCAT. m1A levels of some targets, such as tRNALysCTT and tRNAAsnGTT, are not affected. m3C levels of target tRNA are significantly upregulated in Alkbh3-/- HeLa cells | Homo sapiens |
