Abstract

The mutY gene of Escherichia coli, which codes for an adenine glycosylase that excises the adenine of a G-A mispair, has been cloned and sequenced. The mutY gene codes for a protein of 350 amino acids (Mr = 39,123) and the clone genetically complements the mutY strain. The protein shows significant sequence homology to E. coli endonuclease III, an enzyme that has previously been shown to have glycosylase activity on damaged base pairs. Sequence analysis suggests that, like endonuclease III, MutY is an iron-sulfur protein with a [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
