Abstract excerpt
The [4Fe-4S] cluster is an important cofactor of the base excision repair (BER) adenine DNA glycosylase MutY to prevent mutations associated with 8-oxoguanine (OG). Several MutYs lacking the [4Fe-4S] cofactor have been identified. Phylogenetic analysis shows that clusterless MutYs are distributed in two clades suggesting cofactor loss has occurred in multiple independent evolutionary events. Herein, we determined...
