UV-radiation-induced formation of DNA bipyrimidine photoproducts in Bacillus subtilis endospores and their repair during germination [PDF]
, 2008 The spore photoproduct (SP) is the main DNA lesion after UV-C irradiation, and its repair is crucial for the resistance of spores to UV. The aims of the present study were to assess the formation and repair of bipyrimidine photoproducts in spore DNA of ...

New DNA Repair and Demethylation Functions in Uracil DNA Glycosylase Superfamily [PDF]
, 2023 Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily, which consists of several groups of enzymes that recognize the damaged DNA bases and initiate the base excision repair (BER) pathway, is most important in dealing with DNA deamination and other base modifications.

The cytotoxic activity of ribosome-inactivating protein saporin-6 is attributed to its rRNA N-glycosidase and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation activities [PDF]
, 2002 Saporin-6 produced by the plant Saponaria officinalis belongs to the family of single chain ribosome-inactivating proteins. It potently inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond of a specific adenine in 28 S rRNA ...

The Evolutionary Diversity of Uracil DNA Glycosylase Superfamily [PDF]
, 2017 Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) is a crucial member in the base excision (BER) pathway that is able to specially recognize and cleave the deaminated DNA bases, including uracil (U), hypoxanthine (inosine, I), xanthine (X) and oxanine (O).
