EC 3.2.2.27 Details
EC number
3.2.2.27
Accepted name
uracil-DNA glycosylase
Reaction
Hydrolyses single-stranded DNA or mismatched double-stranded DNA and polynucleotides, releasing free uracil
Other name(s)
UdgB (ambiguous), uracil-DNA N-glycosylase, UDG (ambiguous), uracil DNA glycohydrolase
Systematic name
uracil-DNA deoxyribohydrolase (uracil-releasing)
Comment
Uracil-DNA glycosylases are widespread enzymes that are found in all living organisms. EC 3.2.2.27 and double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.28) form a central part of the DNA-repair machinery since they initiate the DNA base-excision repair pathway by hydrolysing the N-glycosidic bond between uracil and the deoxyribose sugar thereby catalysing the removal of mis-incorporated uracil from DNA.
