Function:

Involvement in disease:

Relevance:

Dioxygenase that catalyzes the first step of DNA base J (beta-d-glucosyl-HOMedU) biosynthesis by converting thymine to 5-hydroxymethyluracil (HOMedU). DNA base J is a hypermodified thymidine residue found in the genome of kinetoplastid parasites, which is localized primarily to repetitive DNA, namely the telomeres, and is implicated in the regulation of antigenic variation. Also specifically binds to base J-containing DNA (J-DNA). Involved in propagation and maintenance of DNA base J synthesis initiated by JBP2 by specifically binding already synthesized DNA base J and propagating J synthesis. Thymine dioxygenase activity and J-DNA-binding are independent functions (By similarity).

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
