Abstract excerpt
Binding experiments with alkyl-transfer-active and -inactive mutants of human O(6)-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) show that it forms an O(6)-methylguanine (6mG)-specific complex on duplex DNA that is distinct from non-specific assemblies previously studied. Specific complexes with duplex DNA have a 2:1 stoichiometry that is formed without accumulation of a 1:1 intermediate. This establishes a role for...
