Uracil-DNA glycosylases preferentially excise mispaired uracil [PDF]
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 ...

Uracil mustard revisited [PDF]
A patient with diffuse large cell lymphoma who had a complete response lasting 35 years following a 3-day course of uracil mustard stimulated a recall review of patients treated with this oral alkylating agent.Records of patients treated with uracil mustard between 1958 and 1970 were reviewed.

Uracil-Induced Down-Regulation of the Yeast Uracil Permease [PDF]
ABSTRACT In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the FUR4 -encoded uracil permease catalyzes the first step of the pyrimidine salvage pathway. The availability of uracil has a negative regulatory effect upon its own transport.

A study of the valence photoelectron spectrum of uracil and mixed water–uracil clusters
The valence ionization of uracil and mixed water–uracil clusters has been studied experimentally and by ab initio calculations. In both measurements, the spectrum onset shows a red shift with respect to the uracil molecule, with the mixed cluster characterized by peculiar features unexplained by the sum of independent contributions of the water or ...

A structural determinant in the uracil DNA glycosylase superfamily for the removal of uracil from adenine/uracil base pairs [PDF]
The uracil DNA glycosylase superfamily consists of several distinct families. Family 2 mismatch-specific uracil DNA glycosylase (MUG) from Escherichia coli is known to exhibit glycosylase activity on three mismatched base pairs, T/U, G/U and C/U. Family 1 uracil N-glycosylase (UNG) from E.

Structure of the uracil complex ofVaccinia virusuracil DNA glycosylase [PDF]
Poxvirus uracil DNA glycosylases are the most diverse members of the family I uracil DNA glycosylases (UNGs). The crystal structure of the uracil complex of Vaccinia virus uracil DNA glycosylase (D4) was determined at 2.03 Å resolution. One uracil molecule was located in the active-site pocket in each of the 12 noncrystallographic symmetry-related D4 ...

Structural basis for uracil DNA glycosylase interaction with uracil: NMR study [PDF]
Two dimensional (2D) NMR and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to determine the three dimensional (3D) structure of a hairpin DNA, d-CTA-GAGGATCC-TUTT-GGATCCT (22mer; abbreviated as U2-hairpin), which has uracil at the second position from the 5' end of the tetraloop.

Dissociative multi-photon ionization of isolated uracil and uracil-adenine complexes [PDF]
Recent multi-photon ionization (MPI) experiments on uracil revealed a fragment ion at m/z 84 that was proposed as a potential marker for ring opening in the electronically excited neutral molecule. The present MPI measurements on deuterated uracil identify the fragment as C3H4N2O+ (uracil+ less CO), a plausible dissociative ionization product from the ...

Substrate Inhibition of Uracil Phosphoribosyltransferase by Uracil Can Account for the Uracil Growth Sensitivity of Leishmania donovani Pyrimidine Auxotrophs [PDF]
The pathogenic protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani is capable of both de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of pyrimidines from the host milieu. Genetic analysis has authenticated L. donovani uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (LdUPRT), an enzyme not found in mammalian cells, as the focal enzyme of pyrimidine salvage because all exogenous ...
