Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli MutY is an adenine and weak guanine DNA glycosylase involved in reducing the mutagenic effects of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (GO). MutY contains three structural domains: an iron-sulfur module, a six-helix barrel module with the helix-hairpin-helix motif, and a C-terminal domain. Here, we demonstrate that the mutant MutY(Delta26-134), which lacks the six-helix barrel domain, cannot complement the...
