A DNA glycosylase that excises, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5N-methylformamidopyrimidine (Fapy) from double stranded DNA has been purified 28,570-fold from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Gel filtration chromatography shows that yeast Fapy DNA glycosylase has a molecular weight of about 40 kDa. The Fapy DNA glycosylase is active in the presence of EDTA, but is completely inhibited by 0.2 M KCl. Yeast Fapy DNA glycosylase does not excise N7-methylguanine, N3-methyladenine or uracil. A repair enzyme for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG) co-purifies with the Fapy DNA glycosylase. This repair activity causes strand cleavage at the site of 8-OxoG in DNA duplexes. The highest rate of incision of the 8-OxoG-containing strand was observed for duplexes where 8-OxoG was opposite guanine. The mode of incision at 8-OxoG was not established yet. The results however suggest that the Fapy- and 8-OxoG-repair activities are associated with a single protein.
