Abstract excerpt
Base excision repair of DNA alkylation damage is initiated by a methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG) function. Such enzymes have previously been characterized from bacteria and eukarya, but not from archaea. We identified activity for the release of methylated bases from DNA in cell-free extracts o...
