Background InformationMethylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.63; UniProt P16455; also known as 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, GATase, MGMT, O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase) is encoded by the MGMT gene (Gene ID 4255) in human. MGMT is a DNA repair enzyme that removes alkyl groups from O6-guanine and plays a fundamental role in maintaining genomic integrity. MGMT converts the naturally occurring mutagenic DNA lesion O6-methylguanine back to guanine, thereby prevents mismatch and errors during DNA replication and transcription. MGMT expression level correlates with cellular resistance to alkylnitrosoureas, compounds that induce O6-alkylguanine lesions. MGMT transcription is negatively regulated via promoter methylation, MGMT promoter methylation level is reported to correclate with the survival rate of glioblastoma patients receiving treatment with alkylating agents.
