Ogt

Protein FULL name:

6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase., Methylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase,


Ogt (Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655) is product of expression of ogt gene.


Ogt is involved in:

DRR in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

Keywords:



FUNCTION: Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in DNA. Repairs alkylated guanine in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated. Can also repair O-4-methylthymine.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: DNA (containing 6-O-methylguanine) + protein L-cysteine = DNA (without 6-O-methylguanine) + protein S-methyl-L- cysteine.

MISCELLANEOUS: This enzyme catalyzes only one turnover and therefore is not strictly catalytic. According to one definition, an enzyme is a biocytalyst that acts repeatedly and over many reaction cycles.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MGMT family.
