Abstract excerpt
The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferases are the most common form of cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine in DNA. By screening a cDNA library with oligonucleotide probes derived from the active site amino acid sequence of the bovine methyltransferase, we have isolated a cDNA clone for the human enzyme. The cDNA contains a single open reading frame encoding a protein of Mr 21,700...
