Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are DNA containing 6-O-methylguanine and protein L-cysteine, whereas its two products are DNA and protein S-methyl-L-cysteine. The S-methyl-L-cysteine residue irreversibly inactivates the protein, allowing only one transfer for each protein.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is DNA-6-O-methylguanine:[protein]-L-cysteine S-methyltransferase.
As of late 2007, 11 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1EH6, 1EH7, 1EH8, 1MGT, 1QNT, 1SFE, 1T38, 1T39, 1WRJ, 1YFH, and 2G7H.
