Clonality
polyclonal
Description
Responsible for recognizing base lesions in the genome and initiating base excision DNA repair. Acts as a monofunctional DNA glycosylase specific for uracil (U) residues in DNA and has a preference for single-stranded DNA substrates. The activity is greater against mismatches (U/G) than against matches (U/A). Excised uracil (U), 5-formyluracil (fU) and uracil derivatives bearing an oxidized group at C5 [5-hydroxyuracil (hoU) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU)] in ssDNA and dsDNA but not analogous cytosine derivatives (5-hydroxycytosine and 5-formylcytosine) and other oxidized damage. The activity is damage specificity and salt concentration-dependent. The general order of the preference for ssDNA and dsDNA is the following: ssDNA > dsDNA (G pair) = dsDNA (A pair) at the low salt concentration. At the high concentration dsDNA (G pair) > dsDNA (A pair) > ssDNA.Ide H., Biochemistry 42:5003-5012(2003).Sugano S., Nat. Genet. 36:40-45(2004).Venter J.C., Submitted (JUL-2005).

Recognizes base lesions in the genome and initiates base excision DNA repair. Acts as a monofunctional DNA glycosylase specific for uracil (U) residues in DNA with a preference for single-stranded DNA substrates. The activity is greater toward mismatches (U/G) compared to matches (U/A). Excises uracil (U), 5-formyluracil (fU) and uracil derivatives bearing an oxidized group at C5 [5-hydroxyuracil (hoU) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU)] in ssDNA and dsDNA, but not analogous cytosine derivatives (5-hydroxycytosine and 5-formylcytosine), nor other oxidized bases. The activity is damage-specific and salt-dependent. The substrate preference is the following
