Identification
Name:N1-Methyladenine
Description1-Methyladenine is a methylated nucleobase. DNA can be methylated by various natural processes and the removal of alkyl groups is mediated by the protein known as AlkB. If not, the breakdown products of these alkylations (i.e. alkylated bases) could appear in the cellular medium.

Enzymes

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Dioxygenase that repairs alkylated DNA and RNA containing 3-methylcytosine or 1-methyladenine by oxidative demethylation. Has highest activity towards 3-methylcytosine. Has lower activity towards alkylated DNA containing ethenoadenine, and no detectable activity towards 1-methylguanine or 3-methylthymine. Accepts double-stranded and single-stranded substrates. Requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron. Provides extensive resistance to alkylating agents such as MMS and DMS (SN2 agents), but not to MMNG and MNU (SN1 agents).
