- DNA (containing 6-O-methylguanine) + protein L-cysteine DNA (without 6-O-methylguanine) + protein S-methyl-L-cysteine
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.
