MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of mutagenic O6-methyl-dGTP
Nucleotides in the free pool are more susceptible to nonenzymatic methylation than those protected in the DNA double helix. Methylated nucleotides like O6-methyl-dGTP can be mutagenic and toxic if incorporated into DNA. Removal of methylated nucleotides from the nucleotide pool may therefore be impo...
