Protein
Type-4 uracil-DNA glycosylase
Organism
Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / MSB8 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099)
Function
Removes uracil bases that are present in DNA as a result of either deamination of cytosine or misincorporation of dUMP instead of dTMP. Can remove uracil from double-stranded DNA containing either a U/G or U/A base pair as well as from single-stranded DNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily. Type 4 (UDGa) family.
