Fu, Dragony; Samson, Leona D. published an article in 2012, the title of the article was Direct repair of 3,N 4-ethenocytosine by the human ALKBH2 dioxygenase is blocked by the AAG/MPG glycosylase.Recommanded Product: 55662-66-3 And the article contains the following content:
Exocyclic ethenobases are highly mutagenic DNA lesions strongly implicated in inflammation and vinyl chloride-induced carcinogenesis. While the alkyladenine DNA glycosylase, AAG (or MPG), binds the etheno lesions 1,N 6-ethenoadenine (εA) and 3,N 4-ethenocytosine (εC) with high affinity, only εA can be excised to initiate base excision repair. Here, we discover that the human AlkB homolog 2 (ALKBH2) dioxygenase enzyme catalyzes direct reversal of εC lesions in both double- and single-stranded DNA with comparable efficiency to canonical ALKBH2 substrates. Notably, we find that in vitro, the non-enzymic binding of AAG to εC specifically blocks ALKBH2-catalyzed repair of εC but not that of methylated ALKBH2 substrates. These results identify human ALKBH2 as a repair enzyme for mutagenic εC lesions and highlight potential consequences for substrate-binding overlap between the base excision and direct reversal DNA repair pathways. The experimental process involved the reaction of Imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one(cas: 55662-66-3).Recommanded Product: 55662-66-3
