Abstract excerpt
The ability of cloned human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase to repair a methylated guanine in a CpG-containing sequence, i.e., island, was studied by using a synthetic double-stranded 20-mer oligonucleotide from codon 248 of the p53 gene and another designed sequence. The double-stranded oligonucleotides incorporating 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and O6-methylguanine (O6mG) in various combinations in a CpG site...
