Cannot remove 5- hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). According to an alternative model, involved in DNA demethylation by mediating DNA glycolase activity toward 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) produced by deamination of 5hmC. Also involved in DNA repair by acting as a thymine-DNA glycosylase that mediates correction of G/T mispairs to G/C pairs: in the DNA of higher eukaryotes, hydrolytic deamination of 5- methylcytosine to thymine leads to the formation of G/T mismatches. Its role in the repair of canonical base damage is however minor compared to its role in DNA demethylation. It is capable of hydrolyzing the carbon-nitrogen bond between the sugar- phosphate backbone of the DNA and a mispaired thymine. In addition to the G/T, it can remove thymine also from C/T and T/T mispairs in the order G/T >> C/T > T/T. It has no detectable activity on apyrimidinic sites and does not catalyze the removal of thymine from A/T pairs or from single-stranded DNA. It can also remove uracil and 5-bromouracil from mispairs with guanine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21862836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22327402, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22573813, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22962365, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8127859, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8407958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8662714}. |UDG| |G/U mismatch-specific uracil-DNA glycosylase activity| |regulation of DNA N-glycosylase activity| |pyrimidine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity| |uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity| |oxidative DNA demethylation| |depyrimidination| |sodium ion binding| |mismatched DNA binding| |negative regulation of chromatin binding| |DNA N-glycosylase activity| |base-excision repair, AP site formation| |SUMO binding| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |chloride ion binding| |pyrimidine nucleotide catabolic process| |DNA demethylation| |deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |oxidative demethylation| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate catabolic process| |regulation of chromatin binding| |DNA dealkylation| |2-deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate metabolic process| |mismatch repair| |deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |base-excision repair| |pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process| |protein kinase C binding| |protein self-association| |damaged DNA binding| |pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process| |demethylation| |DNA methylation or demethylation| |nucleotide catabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate catabolic process| |transcription coregulator activity| |DNA modification| |PML body| |negative regulation of protein binding| |double-stranded DNA binding| |nucleobase-containing small molecule biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound metabolic process| |organophosphate catabolic process| |regulation of embryonic development| |negative regulation of binding| |carbohydrate derivative catabolic process| |magnesium ion binding| |regulation of protein binding| |regulation of gene expression, epigenetic| |protein domain specific binding| |transcription factor binding| |nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process| |regulation of binding| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate metabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |DNA repair| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |chromatin organization| |DNA metabolic process| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |protein homodimerization activity| |organophosphate metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |chromosome organization| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of molecular function| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |regulation of hydrolase activity| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |DNA binding| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |ATP binding| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular response to stress| |negative regulation of gene expression| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
