Poxvirus uracil‐DNA glycosylase—An unusual member of the family I uracil‐DNA glycosylases [PDF]
Protein Science, 2016 AbstractUracil‐DNA glycosylases are ubiquitous enzymes, which play a key role repairing damages in DNA and in maintaining genomic integrity by catalyzing the first step in the base excision repair pathway. Within the superfamily of uracil‐DNA glycosylases family I enzymes or UNGs are specific for recognizing and removing uracil from DNA.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Increases Base Excision Repair in Bladder Cancer Cells
Journal of Urological Surgery, 2021 Objective:Most patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) do not respond to intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy and have high risk of NMIBC recurrence and progression.

SUVH1, a Su(var)3-9 family member, promotes the expression of genes targeted by DNA methylation. [PDF]
, 2015 Transposable elements are found throughout the genomes of all organisms. Repressive marks such as DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation silence these elements and maintain genome integrity.

Uracil-DNA glycosylases preferentially excise mispaired uracil [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1992 We have investigated the substrate specificity of human, viral and bacterial uracil-DNA glycosylases employing as substrate double-stranded oligonucleotides containing in the same position of the 5′-32P-labelled strand an uracil residue facing, on the complementary strand, guanine (mimicking cytosine deamination) or adenine (mimicking dUTP ...

Antibiotic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Resistance to Secondary Infection
iMetaMed, EarlyView.Gut microbial dynamics induced by four antibiotics, revealed distinct taxonomic and functional shifts. Vancomycin‐perturbed bacteriomes were proven to promote pathogen resistance to antibiotic treatment. Metronidazole‐treated mice showed pronounced Salmonella translocation to hepatic tissue, and altered Enterococcus avium populations modulated host ...

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Both a DNA lesion and an intermediate for antibody maturation, uracil is primarily processed by base excision repair (BER), either initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) or by single-strand selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase (SMUG1).

Identification of Escherichia coli Mismatch-specific Uracil DNA Glycosylase as a Robust Xanthine DNA Glycosylase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 The gene for the mismatch-specific uracil DNA glycosylase (MUG) was identified in the Escherichia coli genome as a sequence homolog of the human thymine DNA glycosylase with activity against mismatched uracil base pairs. Examination of cell extracts led us to detect a previously unknown xanthine DNA glycosylase (XDG) activity in E. coli.
