The Bacillus subtilis Counterpart of the Mammalian 3-Methyladenine DNA Glycosylase Has Hypoxanthine and 1,N6-Ethenoadenine as Preferred Substrates

The AAG family of 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylases was initially thought to be limited to mammalian cells, but genome sequencing efforts have revealed the presence of homologous proteins in certain prokaryotic species as well. Here, we report the first molecular characterization of a functional prok...
