The contribution of different uracil-DNA glycosylases to removal of uracil from DNA in different mouse organs - the significance of sequence context and proliferative status

Uracil is a non-canonical base in DNA that can arise through misincorporation of dUMP instead of dTMP during replication or from cytosine deamination. Uracil in DNA can be removed by the four different DNA glycosylases UNG, SMUG1, TDG or MBD4 as the first step in base excision repair. These glycosyl...
