hydroxylation and glycosylation sites) and the carboxyl-terminus of fibulin-1C are necessary for the interaction with proHB-EGF.
In plants, enzymes of this family catalyze the formation of the plant hormone ethylene by oxidative desaturation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, and catalyze the hydroxylation and desaturation steps in the synthesis of other plant hormones, pigments and metabolites such as gibberellins, anthocyanidins and flavones [ 1, 6, 7].
The hydroxylation might be followed by a second oxidative step that could remove the hydroxymethyl group, restoring the normal base in DNA.
The maize brown midrib mutants have a reduction in lignin content and an altered lignin subunit composition [ 13 ] . Lignin is a complex hydrophobic polymer made of substituted p -hydroxy-cinnamyl alcohol units that differ in their extent of hydroxylation and methoxylation (for recent reviews see [ 14 15 ] ). Lignin is important for the transport of water and plant rigidity and it serves as a defense mechanism against pests and pathogens.
The predicted 2OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase activity of AlkB is probably involved in the detoxification of methylated bases in ssDNA, possibly through hydroxylation of the methyl groups, resulting in less toxic base derivatives.
