Protein FULL name:formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase [Escherichia coli].Fpg (Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655) is product of expression of mutM gene. Fpg is involved in: BER in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655 Keywords: FUNCTION: Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Acts as DNA glycosylase that recognizes and removes damaged bases. Has a preference for oxidized purines, such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of DNA containing ring-opened 7- methylguanine residues, releasing 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-(N- methyl)formamidopyrimidine. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: The C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA is broken by a beta-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate. COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. SUBUNIT: Monomer. DOMAIN: The zinc-finger is necessary for DNA binding. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FPG family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FPG-type zinc finger.
