Uracil-DNA glycosylases are widespread enzymes that are found in all living organisms. EC 3.2.2.27 and double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.28) form a central part of the DNA-repair machinery since they initiate the DNA base-excision repair pathway by hydrolysing the N-glycosidic bond between uracil and the deoxyribose sugar thereby catalysing the removal of mis-incorporated uracil from DNA.

uracil-DNA deoxyribohydrolase (uracil-releasing)
Uracil-DNA glycosylases are widespread enzymes that are found in all living organisms. EC 3.2.2.27 and double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.28) form a central part of the DNA-repair machinery since they initiate the DNA base-excision repair pathway by hydrolysing the N-glycosidic bond between uracil and the deoxyribose sugar thereby catalysing the removal of mis-incorporated uracil from DNA.
single-stranded DNA containing uracil labeled with fluorescein in the 5'-end, sequence overview. Determination of kinetics using commercially available nick-translated calf thymus DNA with deoxy[5-3H]uridine 5'-triphosphate as substrate. To perform efficient glycoside bond cleavage, drMUG must stabilize the mismatched uracil in the specificity pocket, nucleotide stabilization by Tyr46, substrate binding mechanism, overview. Binding of thymine in the activity pocket is probably prevented by Ser36 and Ser39 in MUG, binding of cytosine is prevented by Asp84
the enzyme removes uracil from DNA, which can occur by misincorporation of dUMP in place of dTMP during DNA synthesis or by deamination of cytosine, resulting in U-A or U-G mispairs
