A. Mutations caused by 8-oxoguanine and repair mediated by MutY/MUTYH and MutM/hOGG1. B. Proposed mechanism for adenine glycosylase activity of MutY based on kinetic isotope effect studies and X-ray crystallography. The residue that participates in activating the water nucleophile remains uncertain, and thus, is not shown in this mechanism.
