General annotation (Comments)

Function	Is involved in the adaptive response to alkylation damage in DNA caused by alkylating agents. Repairs O6-methylguanine and 04-methylthymine residues in alkylated DNA by a direct and irreversible transfer of the methyl group from the base to one of its own cysteine residues (Cys-321). Also specifically repairs the Sp diastereomer of DNA methylphosphotriester lesions by the same mechanism, although the methyl transfer occurs onto a different cysteine residue (Cys-38). Can not demethylate the other diastereomer, Rp-methylphosphotriester. Ref.11 The methylation of Ada by methylphosphotriesters in DNA leads to its activation as a transcriptional regulator that activates the transcription of its own gene, ada, and other alkylation resistance genes, alkA, alkB and aidB. Ref.11
Catalytic activity	DNA (containing Sp-methylphosphotriester) + protein L-cysteine = DNA (without Sp-methylphosphotriester) + protein S-methyl-L-cysteine. Ref.11 DNA (containing 6-O-methylguanine) + protein L-cysteine = DNA (without 6-O-methylguanine) + protein S-methyl-L-cysteine. Ref.11
Cofactor	Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Induction	Up-regulated by methylated Ada itself in response to the exposure to alkylating agents.
Domain	Consists of two domains. The 20 kDa N-terminal domain repairs the Sp diastereomer of methylphosphotriesters and, in its methylated form, binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner. The 19 kDa C-terminal domain repairs the mutagenic lesions O6-methylguanine. Each domain retains its activity when separated form the other. Ref.12
Miscellaneous	This enzyme catalyzes only one turnover and therefore is not strictly catalytic. According to one definition, an enzyme is a biocytalyst that acts repeatedly and over many reaction cycles.
Sequence similarities	In the C-terminal section; belongs to the MGMT family. Contains 1 HTH araC/xylS-type DNA-binding domain.
