DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase
Methylpurine-DNA glycosylase is a base excision-repair protein. It is responsible for the hydrolysis of the deoxyribose N-glycosidic bond, excising 3-methyladenine and 3-methylguanine from damaged DNA. [1]. 9790531. Crystal structure of a human alkylbase-DNA repair enzyme complexed to DNA: mechanisms for nucleotide flipping and base excision. Lau AY, Scharer OD, Samson L, Verdine GL, Ellenberger T;. Cell 1998;95:249-258. (from Pfam)
DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase is responsible for recognizing base lesions in the genome and initiating base excision DNA repair
This families are based on the phylogenomic analysis of JA Eisen (1999, Ph.D. Thesis, Stanford University). All proteins in this family for which the function is known are involved in the base excision repair of alkylation damage to DNA. The exact specificty of the type of alkylation damage repaired by each of these varies somewhat between species. Substrates include 3-methyl adenine, 7-methyl-guanaine, and 3-methyl-guanine.
