8-oxoguanine DNA-glycosylase (type-1 OGG1 family)
N-glycosylase/DNA lyase; Belongs to the type-1 OGG1 family. This is a DNA repair enzyme that incises DNA at 8-oxoG residues to excise 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-N-methylformamidopyrimidine (FAPY) from damaged DNA. Has a beta-lyase activity that nicks DNA 3' to the lesion.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
Lys249 attacks the DNA 8-oxoguanine substrate in a nucleophilic substitution reaction that yields enzyme bound DNA and the conjugate base of 8-oxoguanine. Lys249 initiates an intramolecular elimination, cleaving the C-O bond in the DNA ribose ring and resulting in the deprotonation of 8-oxoguanine. The conjugate base of 8-oxoguanine deprotonates the C2 of the open-form ribose. Lys249 initiates an elimination resulting in the loss of the 3' phosphate-end of the DNA from the ribose ring. Water attacks the ribose at the carbon where Lys249 is bound in a nucleophilic addition reaction. The released phosphate deprotonates the hydroxyl group, initiating an elimination of the covalently bound Lys249. Cyclisation of the final DNA with 3-terminal trans-a,b-unsaturated sugar product occurs outside the enzyme active site.

The a,b-unsaturated aldehyde then undergoes spontaneous ring closure to furnish the DDR end product. The double bond geometry of the Schiff base is not known; if the double bond is configured trans, it would have to isomerise prior to ring closure, because a trans double bond cannot exist in a 5-membered ring, owing to ring strain. Such an isomerisation could foreseeably take place at the stage of either the Schiff base or the a,b-unsaturated aldehyde due to relatively acidic C2' hydrogens in these species.
