These glycosylases initiate the first step in base excision repair by cleaving oxidatively damaged bases and introducing a DNA strand break via their abasic site lyase activity. This enzyme is primarily associated with DNA repair during transcription and acts prefentially on cytosine-derived lesions, particularly 5-hydroxyuracil and 5-hydroxycytosine. It contains an N-terminal catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a C-terminal DNA-binding domain with helix-two-turn-helix and zinc finger motifs. This enzyme interacts with the X-ray cross complementing factor 1 scaffold protein as part of a multi-protein DNA repair complex. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Has DNA glycosylase activity towards 5-hydroxyuracil and other oxidized derivatives of cytosine with a preference for mismatched double-stranded DNA (DNA bubbles). Has low or no DNA glycosylase activity towards thymine glycol, 2-hydroxyadenine, hypoxanthine and 8-oxoguanine. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12097317, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14522990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15175427, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15339932}. |H2TH| |Fapy DNA glyco| |depyrimidination| |DNA N-glycosylase activity| |class I DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity| |base-excision repair, AP site formation| |DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleotide catabolic process| |deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process| |pyrimidine deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate catabolic process| |2-deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |deoxyribose phosphate metabolic process| |deoxyribonucleotide metabolic process| |spindle microtubule| |base-excision repair| |pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process| |damaged DNA binding| |pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleotide catabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate catabolic process| |DNA modification| |pyrimidine-containing compound metabolic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule biosynthetic process| |nucleotide-excision repair| |organophosphate catabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative catabolic process| |microtubule binding| |nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process| |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| |intracellular membrane-bounded organelle| |DNA metabolic process| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |zinc ion binding| |organophosphate metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular response to stress| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
