The most common mutations in cancer are C to T transitions, but their origin has remained elusive. Recently, mutational signatures of APOBEC-family cytosine deaminases were identified in many common cancers, suggesting off-target deamination of cytosine ...

A unique uracil-DNA binding protein of the uracil DNA glycosylase superfamily
Uracil DNA glycosylases (UDGs) are an important group of DNA repair enzymes, which pioneer the base excision repair pathway by recognizing and excising uracil from DNA.

Direct measurement of the substrate preference of uracil-DNA glycosylase. [PDF]
Site-directed mutants of the herpes simplex virus type 1 uracil-DNA glycosylase lacking catalytic activity have been used to probe the substrate recognition of this highly conserved and ubiquitous class of DNA-repair enzyme utilizing surface plasmon ...

Phage φ29 protein p56 prevents viral DNA replication impairment caused by uracil excision activity of uracil-DNA glycosylase [PDF]
Protein p56 encoded by the Bacillus subtilis phage φ29 inhibits host uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity. In previous studies, we suggested that this inhibition is likely a defense mechanism developed by phage φ29 to prevent the action of UDG if ...

A uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor encoded by a non-uracil containing viral DNA [PDF]
Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is an enzyme involved in the base excision repair pathway. It specifically removes uracil from both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The genome of the Bacillus subtilis phage ϕ29 is a linear double-stranded DNA with a

URACIL-DNA GLYCOSYLASES PREFERENTIALLY EXCISE MISPAIRED URACIL
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'-P-32-labelled strand an uracil residue facing, on the ...

Deamination of cytosine to uracil is a hydrolytic reaction that is greatly accelerated at high temperatures. The resulting uracil pairs with adenine during DNA replication, thereby inducing G:C to A:T transitions in the progeny.

We have purified Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV1) uracil-DNA glycosylase from the nuclei of HSV1-infected HeLa cells harvested 8 h post-infection, at which time the induction of the enzyme is a maximum.
