The canonical DNA glycosylase role is global base damage repair but includes functions in epigenetic gene regulation, immune response modulation, replication, and transcription. In this issue of Structure, Eckenroth et al. (2020) present the NEIL2 glycosylase structure. Its catalytic domain flexibility differentiates it from most other glycosylases and suggests novel regulatory mechanisms.
规范的 DNA 糖苷酶的作用是进行全局碱基损伤修复,但它也具有调节表观遗传基因、免疫反应、复制和转录等功能。在本期的《结构》杂志中,Eckenroth 等人(2020 年)展示了 NEIL2 糖苷酶的结构。其催化结构域的灵活性使其与大多数其他糖苷酶区分开来,并提出了新的调控机制。
