Direct repair of 3,N[superscript 4]-ethenocytosine by the human ALKBH2 dioxygenase is blocked by the AAG/MPG glycosylase

Exocyclic ethenobases are highly mutagenic DNA lesions strongly implicated in inflammation and vinyl chloride-induced carcinogenesis. While the alkyladenine DNA glycosylase, AAG (or MPG), binds the etheno lesions 1,N[superscript 6]-ethenoadenine (ɛA) and 3,N[superscript 4]-ethenocytosine (ɛC) with h...
