Structural highlights
Function[3MG2_ECOLI] 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.

Publication Abstract from PubMedEscherichia coli (E. coli) protein 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II (AlkA) functions primarily by removing alkylation damage from duplex and single stranded DNA. A crystal structure of AlkA was refined to 2.0 A resolution. This structure in turn was used to refine an AlkA-hypoxanthine (substrate) complex structure to 2.4 A resolution. The complex structure shows hypoxanthine located in AlkA's active site stacked between residues W218 and Y239. The structural analysis of the AlkA and AlkA-hypoxanthine structures indicate that free hypoxanthine binding in the active site may inhibit glycosylase activity. 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II: the crystal structure of an AlkA-hypoxanthine complex suggests the possibility of product inhibition.,Teale M, Symersky J, DeLucas L Bioconjug Chem. 2002 May-Jun;13(3):403-7.
