Encodes a 3-methyladenine-DNA glycosylase. Arabdiopsis cDNA complements the methyl methanesulfonate-sensitive phenotype of an Escherichia coli double mutant deficient in 3-methyladenine glycosylases (DNA-3-methyladenine glycosidases I and II, EC 3.2.2.20 and 3.2.2.21, respectively, encoded by tag and alkA).
