Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli MutY is an adenine and a weak guanine DNA glycosylase involved in reducing mutagenic effects of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). The [4Fe-4S] cluster of MutY is ligated by four conserved cysteine residues and has been shown to be important in substrate recognition. Here, we show that the C199A mutant MutY is very insoluble and can be denatured and renatured to regain activity only if iron and...
