Feature:
CHAIN 1 172 Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine
methyltransferase.
/FTId=PRO_0000139384.
ACT_SITE 142 142 Alkyl group acceptor (By similarity).

Comments:
-!- FUNCTION: Involved in the cellular defense against the biological
effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in DNA. Repairs alkylated
guanine in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group
at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a
suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated (By
similarity).
-!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: DNA (containing 6-O-methylguanine) + protein
L-cysteine = DNA (without 6-O-methylguanine) + protein S-methyl-L-
cysteine.
-!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).
-!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MGMT family.
