  Domain Name: EcFpg-like_N
N-terminal domain of Escherichia coli Fpg1/MutM and related bacterial DNA glycosylases. This family contains the N-terminal domain of Escherichia coli Fpg1/MutM and related bacterial DNA glycosylases. It belongs to the FpgNei_N, [N-terminal domain of Fpg (formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase, MutM)_Nei (endonuclease VIII)] domain superfamily. DNA glycosylases maintain genome integrity by recognizing base lesions created by ionizing radiation, alkylating or oxidizing agents, and endogenous reactive oxygen species. They initiate the base-excision repair process, which is completed with the help of enzymes such as phosphodiesterases, AP endonucleases, DNA polymerases and DNA ligases. DNA glycosylases cleave the N-glycosyl bond between the sugar and the damaged base, creating an AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) site. Most FpgNei DNA glycosylases use their N-terminal proline residue as the key catalytic nucleophile, and the reaction proceeds via a Schiff base intermediate. Escherichia coli Fpg mainly recognizes and excises damaged purines such as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG). It is bifunctional, having both a DNA glycosylase (recognition activity) and a AP lyase activity. In addition to this EcFpg-like_N domain, enzymes belonging to this family contain a helix-two turn-helix (H2TH) domain and a zinc-finger motif, which also contribute residues to the active site.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
