| Abstract | We described previously the isolation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae 3-methyladenine (3-MeAde) DNA glycosylase repair gene (MAG) by its expression in glycosylase-deficient Escherichia coli alkA tag mutant cells and its ability to rescue these cells from the toxic effects of alkylating agents. Here we extend this cross-species functional complementation approach to the isolation of a full-length human 3-MeAde DNA glycosylase cDNA that rescues alkA tag E. coli from killing by methyl methanesulfonate, and we have mapped the gene to human chromosome 16. The cloned cDNA, expressed from the pBR322 beta-lactamase promoter, contains an 894-base-pair open reading frame encoding a 32,894-Da protein able to release 3-MeAde, but not 7-methylguanine, from alkylated DNA. Surprisingly, the predicted human protein does not share significant amino acid sequence homology with the bacterial AlkA and Tag glycosylases or the yeast MAG glycosylase, but it does share extensive amino acid sequence homology with a rat 3-MeAde DNA glycosylase and significant DNA sequence homology with genes from several mammalian species. The cloning of a human 3-MeAde DNA glycosylase cDNA represents a key step in generating 3-MeAde repair-deficient cells and the determination of the in vivo role of this DNA repair enzyme in protecting against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of alkylating agents. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
