  • Function

    Dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA by oxidative demethylation. Has highest activity towards single-stranded RNA containing 3-methyluracil, followed by single-stranded DNA containing 3-methylthymine. Has low demethylase activity towards single-stranded DNA containing 1-methyladenine or 3-methylcytosine. Has no activity towards 1-methylguanine. Has no detectable activity towards double-stranded DNA. Requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron. Contributes to the regulation of the global metabolic rate, energy expenditure and energy homeostasis. Contributes to the regulation of body size and body fat accumulation.

  • Tissue specificity

    Ubiquitously expressed, with relatively high expression in adrenal glands and brain; especially in hypothalamus and pituitary.

  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in FTO are the cause of growth retardation developmental delay coarse facies and early death (GRDDCFED) [MIM:612938]. The disease consists of a severe children multiple congenital anomaly syndrome with death by the age of 3 years. All affected individuals had postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, severe psychomotor delay, functional brain deficits, and characteristic facial dysmorphism. In some patients, structural brain malformations, cardiac defects, genital anomalies, and cleft palate were also observed.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the fto family.

  • Domain

    The 3D-structure of the Fe2OG dioxygenase domain is similar to that of the Fe2OG dioxygenase domain found in the bacterial DNA repair dioxygenase alkB and its mammalian orthologs, but sequence similarity is very low. As a consequence, the domain is not detected by protein signature databases.

  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus.
  • Information by UniProt

Question

1. Has there been any activity testing done with this protein?
2. Is it possible to cleave off the His tag? For example, is there a protease cleavage site designed for removal of the tag?

Answer

At this time we have not determined it's enzymatic activity. Also, cleavage of the His-tag is not possible.
