Endonuclease II (deoxyribonucleate oligonucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.30) of Escherichia coli has been shown to break phosphodiester bonds in alkylated DNA and depurinated DNA. The hypothesis that depurination is a step in the mechanism of the reaction with alkylated DNA is supported by in vitro experiments with DNA reacted with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Endonuclease II releases O(6)-methylguanine and 3-methyladenine, but not 7-methylguanine, from DNA that has been methylated by the carcinogen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea.
大肠杆菌的核酸内切酶II(脱氧核糖核酸寡核苷酸水解酶,EC 3.1.4.30)已被证明能断裂烷基化DNA和脱嘌呤DNA中的磷酸二酯键。脱嘌呤是与烷基化DNA反应机制中的一个步骤这一假说,得到了DNA与N-甲基-N-亚硝基脲反应的体外实验的支持。核酸内切酶II从被致癌物N-甲基-N-亚硝基脲甲基化的DNA中释放出O(6)-甲基鸟嘌呤和3-甲基腺嘌呤,但不释放7-甲基鸟嘌呤。
