Abstract excerpt
We previously cloned a DNA fragment from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that suppressed the alkylation sensitivity of Escherichia coli glycosylase deficient mutants and we showed that it apparently contained a gene for 3-methyl-adenine DNA glycosylase (MAG). Here we establish the identity of the MAG gene by sequence analysis and describe its in vivo function and expression in yeast cells. The MAG DNA glycosylase...
