Term Name: DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase activity
Synonyms: 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I, alkylated-DNA glycohydrolase (releasing methyladenine and methylguanine), deoxyribonucleate 3-methyladenine glycosidase I, DNA glycosidase I activity, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidase I activity, DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase I activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: DNA containing 3-methyladenine + H2O = DNA with abasic site + 3-methyladenine. This reaction is the hydrolysis of DNA by cleavage of the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the damaged DNA 3-methyladenine and the deoxyribose sugar to remove the 3-methyladenine, leaving an abasic site.
