Revised Manuscript Received April 8, 1992 abstract: Human cell-free extracts were used to detect activities specifically incising C^-methylguanine (m6G) paired with C or T in DNA. A 45-bp double-stranded DNA containing one m6G across from a T (m6G: T) was the test substrate. Extracts from glioblastoma cell lines A172 and A1235 (lacking the m6G-specific repair protein m6G-DNA methyltransferase, MGMT) and colon carcinoma cell lineHT29, containing MGMT, showed incisionactivities specific for the T strand of m6G: T [and G: T, as reported previously by Wiebauer and Jiricny (1989)] substrates, but did not cleave m6G: C (or G: C) substrates. Competition experimentsshowed that the activity was similar to, if not identical with, the activity in human cells that incises G: T mismatches. The incision sites were similar to those recognized by human G: T-or G: A-specific mismatch enzymes, ie, the phosphodiester bonds both 3'and 5'to the poorly matched T, suggesting the glycolytic removal of the poorly matched T followed by backbone incisions by class I or II AP endonucleases. Three experiments in which MGMT was inactivated showed that the m6G: T incision activity was not simply due to a two-step mechanisms in which MGMT would first mediate conversion of the m6G: T substrate to a G: T substrate which would serve as a substrate for G: T incision. Extracts from HT29 contained a DNA-binding factor, possibly DNA sequence-specific, that inhibited incision of the m6G: T (but not the G: T) substrate, that was removed by the addition of synthetic DNA to the reaction.We are interested in understanding the biological effects produced by unrepaired C^-methylguanine (m6G)'in DNA. m6G is produced in DNA when DNA guanine residues react with such SN1methylating agents as MNNG and MNU (Lawley, 1976) and is repairedin normal cells by the 22-kDa protein MGMT that transfersthe m6G methyl group to a specific MGMT residue, thus restoring proper structure to guanine (Olsson & Lindahl, 1980; Harris etal., 1983; Yarosh et al., 1983; Foote et al., 1983). About 20-30% of human solid tumor cell lines show the Mer-phenotype (Day et al., 1980a), lack MGMT [Yarosh etal.(1983, 1984) andSibghat-Ullah et al., unpublishedresults], and are hypersensitive to MNNG as indicated by enhanced lethality (Day et al.,
