Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in DNA. Repairs alkylated guanine in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated.Tano K., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87:686-690(1990).Rydberg B., J. Biol. Chem. 265:9563-9569(1990).Koike G., J. Biol.
