A new class of uracil-DNA glycosylases related to human thymine-DNA glycosylase

Nature, 1996
Mispairs in DNA of guanine with uracil and thymine can arise as a result of deamination of cytosine and 5-methylcytosine, respectively. In humans such mispairs are removed by thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG). By deleting the carboxy and amino termini of this enzyme we have identified a core region capable of processing G/U but not G/T mispairs.

Computational studies of DNA repair: Insights into the function of monofunctional DNA glycosylases in the base excision repair pathway

WIREs Computational Molecular Science, 2020
The information contained within DNA as a sequence of nucleobases is required for life of most organisms, yet can get altered when the nucleobases are damaged upon exposure to many internal (hormones) and external (ultraviolet sunlight, pollutants ...

DNA glycosylases

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1982
Various DNA glycosylases exist, which initiate the first step in base-excision repair. A summary of the kinetic and physical characteristics of three classes of DNA glycosylases are presented here. The first class discussed, include glycosylases which recognize alkylated DNA.

Thymine DNA glycosylase

2001
More than 50% of colon cancer-associated mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene are C-->T transitions. The majority of them locate in CpG dinucleotides and are thought to have arisen through spontaneous hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine. This deamination process gives rise to G.T mispairs that need to be repaired to G.C in order to avoid C-

The enigmatic thymine DNA glycosylase

DNA Repair, 2007
When it was first isolated from extracts of HeLa cells in Josef Jiricny's laboratory, the thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) attracted attention because of its ability to remove thymine, i.e. a normal DNA base, from G.T mispairs. This implicated a function of DNA base excision repair in the restoration of G.C base pairs following the deamination of a 5 ...
