Abstract

2-Oxoglutarate and ferrous iron-dependent oxygenases have emerged as an important family of human enzymes that catalyse hydroxylations and related demethylation reactions. Their substrates in humans include proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and small molecules. They play roles in collagen biosynthesis, hypoxic sensing, regulation of gene expression and lipid biosynthesis/metabolism. Structural analyses, principally employing crystallography, have revealed that all of these oxygenases possess a double-stranded β-helix core fold that supports a highly conserved triad of iron binding residues and a less well conserved 2-oxoglutarate co-substrate binding site. The 2-oxoglutarate binds to the iron in a bidentate manner via its 1-carboxylate and 2-oxo groups. The primary substrate binding elements are more variable and can involve mobile elements.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The largest group of enzymes using vitamin C as a cofactor is the iron-dependent and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases superfamily (2OGO), representing about 80 enzymes in humans responsible for modification of important biological substances and processes.

    “The largest group of enzymes using vitamin C as one of their cofactors is the iron-dependent and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases superfamily (2OGO, α-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases). In humans, it represents about 80 enzymes responsible for the modification of important biological substances and processes (Table 2) [97,98,99].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
