Abstract excerpt
The base excision repair carried out by bacterial MutY DNA glycosylase and eukaryotic MutY homolog (MYH) is responsible for removing adenines misincorporated into DNA opposite G and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanines (8-oxoG); thereby preventing G:C to T:A mutations. Escherichia coli MutY (EcMutY) can also remove adenines from A/C and A/5-hydroxyuracil and can remove guanines from G/8-oxoG mismatches at reduced rates....
