Thermostable OGG is an archaeal 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) DNA glycosylase which acts both as a N-glycosylase and an AP-lyase. The N-glycosylase activity releases the damaged purine (8-oxoguanine) from double stranded DNA, generating an apurinic (AP) site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves 3′ to the AP site leaving a 5′ phosphate and a 3′-phospho-α, β-unsaturated aldehyde. Unlike some other DNA glycosylases, Thermostable OGG specifically recognizes and cleaves only 8-oxoG and no other modified bases.
