Abstract:Alkbh1 is a mammalian homolog of the Escherichia coli DNA repair enzyme AlkB, an Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase that removes alkyl lesions from DNA bases. The human homolog ALKBH1 has been associated with six different enzymatic activities including DNA, mRNA, or tRNA hydroxylation, cleavage at abasic (AP) sites in DNA, as well as demethylation of histones. The reported cellular roles of this protein reflect the diverse enzymatic activities and include direct DNA repair, tRNA modification, and histone modification. We demonstrate that ALKBH1 produced in mammalian cells (ALKBH1293) is similar to the protein produced in bacteria (ALKBH1Ec) with regard to its m6A demethylase and AP lyase activities. In addition, we find that ALKBH1293 forms a covalent adduct with the 5′ product of the lyase product in a manner analogous to ALKBH1Ec. Localization and subcellular fractionation studies with the endogenous protein in two human cell strains confirm that ALKBH1 is primarily in the mitochondria. Two strains of CRISPR/Cas9-created ALKBH1-deficient HEK293 cells showed increases in mtDNA copy number and mitochondrial dysfunction as revealed by growth measurements and citrate synthase activity assays.
