ogt

Unnamed Gene ID: 945853

Known also as: ECK1331; JW1329;


NCBI Gene ID: 945853
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

Ogt is the second (after Ada) methyltransferase enzyme for the direct repair of alkylating lesions in Escherichia coli and is responsible the background constitutive alkyl-transfer when the Ada response is not induced. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10668].
