General Function
1diz Escherichia coli 3 methyladenine DNA glycosylase II () is a DNA repair enzyme that initiates base excision repair for the removal of alkylated bases. There are many environmental toxins and cellular agents that may alkylate DNA bases. One example is Aflatoxin, a compound that is converted into a reactive epoxide by cytochrome P450 and attacks guanosine at its N-7 atom to form alkylated bases[1]. The alkylated DNA bases prevent regulatory proteins from binding to DNA and blocks replicative polymerases.[2] AlkA initiates base excision repair by first locating and binding to the alkylated DNA. It then flips the affected base out of the DNA double helix and into the active site of the enzyme. Once in the active site, AlkA hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond to release the damaged base and leave the sugar phosphate backbone intact. This creates the AP site that is either devoid of a purine or pyridine. The AP site signals to other base excision repair enzymes to insert an undamaged nucleotide based on the undamaged complementary strand and seal the DNA.
