Alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) is the only known human capable of excising alkylated purines from DNA, including highly mutagenic 1,N6-ethenoadenine (εA) lesion. Here, we examine ability AAG to excise εA a nucleosome core particle (NCP), which primary repeating unit packaging in eukaryotes. Using chemical synthesis techniques, assembled global population NCPs A replaced with εA. While each NCP contains no more than one lesion, total 49 distinct geometric positions. this εA-containing...
