Gene

Coordinates: 3,964,278 → 3,964,868

Phenotypes of a mutant

• increased sensitivity of sporulating cells to the genotoxic effects of MMS [Pubmed|27698084]

The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• removes hypoxanthine, 3-alkylated purines, and 1,N6-ethenoadenine from DNA; hypoxanthine and 1,N6-ethenoadenine are the preferred substrates [Pubmed|14729667]
• protects sporulating cells from cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of MMS [Pubmed|27698084]

Protein family

• DNA glycosylase MPG family (according to Swiss-Prot) AAG family of 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylases

Structure

• [PDB|3QI5] (the human enzyme in complex with DNA, 33% identity) [pubmed|21349833]
