Term Name: broad specificity oxidative DNA demethylase activity Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • 1-ethyladenine demethylase activity
  • 2-oxoglutarate-dependent DNA demethylase
  • 5-formylcytosine dioxygenase activity
  • 5-hydroxymethylcytosine dioxygenase activity
  • N1-methyladenine demethylase activity
  • N3-methylcytosine demethylase activity
  • oxidative DNA demethylase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: a methylated nucleobase within DNA + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a nucleobase within DNA + formaldehyde + succinate + CO2. Catalyzes oxidative demethylation of the DNA base lesions N1- methyladenine, N3-methylcytosine, N1-methylguanine, and N3- methylthymine. Can also act of RNA. (4)
