A partially purified extract prepared from adapted M. luteus cells contains repair functions for oxygen methylated pyrimidine residues present in alkylated DNA. The removal of O2-MeT is mediated by a DNA glycosylase enzyme whereas disappearance of O4-MeT is effected by a methyltransferase in a manner similar to the in situ repair of O6-MeG. O4-MeT methyltransferase enzyme is unusually heat resistant. Synthesis of these repair proteins, which are distinctly different from the previously known inducible 3-MeA DNA glycosylase and O6-MeG methyltransferase activities, forms a part of the adaptive response.
从适应后的藤黄微球菌细胞中制备的部分纯化提取物,对烷基化DNA中存在的氧甲基化嘧啶残基具有修复功能。O2-MeT的去除由一种DNA糖基化酶介导,而O4-MeT的消失则由一种甲基转移酶以类似于O6-MeG原位修复的方式实现。O4-MeT甲基转移酶具有异常的耐热性。这些修复蛋白的合成与先前已知的可诱导3-MeA DNA糖基化酶和O6-MeG甲基转移酶活性明显不同,是适应性反应的一部分。
