basic FUNCTION
  • excise uracil from DNA and acting as a uracil DNA N-glycosylase
  • removing uracil from single- and double-stranded DNA in nuclear chromatin, thus contributing to base excision repair
  • coordinate the initial steps of base excision repair by distinct mechanisms and may be more important in repair of deaminated cytosine (U:G) in non-replicating chromatin
  • showed broader substrate specificity than UNG2
  • acting as a broad specificity backup
  • remove some oxidized pyrimidines, suggesting a role in the repair of DNA oxidation damage
  • in the presence of Mg2+ and monovalent salts, SMUG1 is essentially double strand-specific
  • base excision repair enzyme that removes uracil and oxidised pyrimidines from DNA
  • UNG and SMUG1 are the two uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDGs) most likely to combat the genomic incorporation of uracil and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) during replication
  • has a role in the resumption of replication following 5-FU treatment
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, repair, base excision repair
