1,N 2-Ethenoguanine, a Mutagenic DNA Adduct, Is a Primary Substrate of Escherichia coliMismatch-specific Uracil-DNA Glycosylase and Human Alkylpurine-DNA-N-Glycosylase
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
The promutagenic and genotoxic exocyclic DNA adduct 1,N(2)-ethenoguanine (1,N(2)-epsilonG) is a major product formed in DNA exposed to lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes in vitro. Here, we report that two structurally unrelated proteins, the Escherichia coli mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase (MUG) and the human alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase (ANPG), can release 1,N(2)-epsilonG from defined...
