DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II

DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II () is an enzyme that catalyses the following chemical reaction:
Involved in the removal of alkylated bases from DNA in "Escherichia coli".
Evolution.
Through the process of convergent evolution, there are at least two unrelated protein folds that share the same DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase activity. The first, the AlkA N-terminal domain, is found in bacteria . The second, methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) is found in vertebrates including humans.
Nomenclature.
DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II is also known as
