Sysname
dATP(dGTP):depurinated-DNA purine transferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) dATP + depurinated DNA = deoxyribose triphosphate + DNA [RN:
R03904 ];
(2) dGTP + depurinated DNA = deoxyribose triphosphate + DNA [RN:
R07278 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
The purine residue is transferred on to the apurinic site forming a normal glycosylic bond. dATP reacts at sites of the double-stranded depurinated DNA that lack adenine, and dGTP at sites that lack guanine.
History
EC 2.6.99.1 created 1984
