Repair of DNA Alkylation Damage by the Escherichia coli Adaptive AlkB as Studied by ESI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

DNA alkylation can cause mutations, epigenetic changes, and even cell death. All living organisms have evolved enzymatic and non-enzymatic strategies for repairing such alkylation damage. AlkB, one of the Escherichia coli adaptive response proteins, uses an α-ketoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent mechani...
