6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase

Basic Info

Synonyms
O(6)-甲基鸟嘌呤DNA甲基转移酶, 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase
+ [3]
Introduction
Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) and O4-methylthymine (O4-MeT) in DNA. Repairs the methylated nucleobase in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated.
