AlkA

Protein FULL name:

DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase 2, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II, 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II, inducible, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidase II.,


Protein SHORT name:

TAG II


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


AlkA is involved in:

BER in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

Keywords:



FUNCTION: Hydrolysis of the deoxyribose N-glycosidic bond to excise 3-methyladenine, 3-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine, O2- methylthymine, and O2-methylcytosine from the damaged DNA polymer formed by alkylation lesions.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of alkylated DNA, releasing 3- methyladenine, 3-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine and 7- methyladenine.

SUBUNIT: Monomer.

INTERACTION: P06959:aceF; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-544077, EBI-542707;

INDUCTION: When E.coli cells are exposed to doses of DNA alkylating agent. It is not inhibited by reaction products.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the alkylbase DNA glycosidase alkA family.


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 112786
