Function

FPG_ARATH Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Acts as DNA glycosylase that recognizes and removes damaged bases. Can process efficiently 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyA), 2,6-diamino-4- hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) and the further oxidation products of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), such as guanidinohydantoin and spiroiminodihydantoin. Has marginal activity towards 8-oxoG. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates.[1] [2] [3]
