Structural insight into repair of alkylated DNA by a new superfamily of DNA glycosylases comprising HEAT-like repeats
3-methyladenine DNA glycosylases initiate repair of cytotoxic and promutagenic alkylated bases in DNA. We demonstrate by comparative modelling that Bacillus cereus AlkD belongs to a new, fifth, structural superfamily of DNA glycosylases with an alpha–alpha superhelix fold comprising six HEAT-like re...
