Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene ung-1, expression of the N-terminally GST-tagged enzyme in Escherichia coli strain BL21 ung151 (ung::Tn10(Tet)) Caenorhabditis elegans

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information an ung-1 mutant has reduced ability to repair uracil-containing DNA. Ung-1 mutants show altered levels of apoptotic cell corpses formed in response to DNA damaging agents and increased apoptosis in response to ionizing radiation. The phenotype is a consequence of compensatory transcriptomic shifts that modulate oxidative stress responses in the mutant and not an effect of reduced DNA damage signaling, overview. Attenuation of paraquat-induced apoptosis in ung-1 mutant results from modulation of stress-induced signaling pathways, overview Caenorhabditis elegans
