16 Δεκ 2002 · Uracil in DNA results from deamination of cytosine, resulting in mutagenic U : G mispairs, and misincorporation of dUMP, which gives a less harmful U : A pair. At least four different human...

16 Δεκ 2002 · Recently, a role for UNG2, together with activation induced deaminase (AID) which generates uracil, has been demonstrated in immunoglobulin diversification. Studies are now underway to examine whether mice deficient in Ung develop lymphoproliferative malignancies and have a different life span.
16 Ιαν 2023 · Although thymine and uracil are similar in function and can form the same base pairs with adenine, the presence of uracil in DNA can affect DNA stability and modulate cell-specific functions. Without repair mechanisms to remove uracil from DNA, cytosine deamination can occur, resulting in gene drift that is not tolerable in organisms.
1 Ιαν 2003 · UNG2 is a major nuclear uracil-DNA glycosylase central in removal of misincorporated dUMP in replication foci, but recent evidence also indicates an important role in repair of U : G mispairs...
28 Σεπ 2010 · Uracil (U) can be found in DNA as a mismatch paired either to adenine (A) or to guanine (G). Removal of U from DNA is performed by a class of enzymes known as uracil–DNA–glycosylases (UDG). Recent studies suggest that recognition of U–A and U–G mismatches by UDG takes place via an extra-helical mechanism.
The excision of uracil in DNA is catalyzed by DNA glycosylase, an enzyme that cleaves the bond linking the base (uracil) to the deoxyribose of the DNA backbone. This reaction yields free uracil and an apyrimidinic site—a sugar with no base attached.
1 Δεκ 2010 · In this paper we will review: (i) sources of the origin of uracil in DNA; (ii) some properties of the enzymes responsible for the excision of uracil and their role in the Ig diversification process, which comprises somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination; and (iii) consequences of cytosine deamination in other than the Ig loci, in ...
