摘要: Abstract A DNA glycosylase activity which excises fragmented thymine residues has been identified in cell extracts from Drosophila melanogaster embryos. The enzyme an apparent M r = 40,000, acts preferentially on double-stranded polydeoxyribonucleotide substrate and requires no co-factors. presumably excision-repair of pyrimidines damaged by hydroxyl radicals other oxidizing species. This is the first identification a cells.
