HUMAN O6-ALKYLGUANINE-DNA ALKYLTRANSFERASE
Overview
Human O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), which directly, reverses endogenous alkylation at the O(6)-position of guanine, confers, resistance to alkylation chemotherapies and is therefore an active, anticancer drug target. Crystal structures of active human AGT and its, biologically and therapeutically relevant methylated and benzylated, product complexes reveal an unexpected zinc-stabilized helical bridge, joining a two-domain alpha/beta structure. An asparagine hinge couples the, active site motif to a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif implicated in DNA, binding. The reactive cysteine environment, its position within a groove, adjacent to the alkyl-binding cavity and mutational analyses characterize, DNA-damage recognition and inhibitor specificity, support a, structure-based ...
