3.2.2.28 double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylaseIUBMB Comments
No activity on DNA containing a T/G mispair or single-stranded DNA containing either a site-specific uracil or 3,N4-ethenocytosine residue , significant role for double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase in mutation avoidance in non-dividing E. coli . Uracil-DNA glycosylases are widespread enzymes that are found in all living organisms. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.27) and 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-double-stranded DNA deoxyribohydrolase (uracil-releasing)
No activity on DNA containing a T/G mispair or single-stranded DNA containing either a site-specific uracil or 3,N4-ethenocytosine residue [2], significant role for double-stranded uracil-DNA glycosylase in mutation avoidance in non-dividing E. coli [3]. Uracil-DNA glycosylases are widespread enzymes that are found in all living organisms. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (EC 3.2.2.27) and 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.

3,N4-ethenocytosine + single-stranded DNA with abasic site
the enzyme excised both 3,N4-ethenocytosine and uracil from DNA. 3,N4-ethenocytosine is significantly better as a substrate in terms of binding and hydrolysis. The tighter binding of the 3,N4-ethenocytosine containing substrate by MUG probably also accounts for its activity against single-stranded DNA containing 3,N4-ethenocytosine. Cleavage of the single-stranded substrate is 1500fold slower than the double-stranded substrate

Dug is active on duplex oligonucleotides (34-mers) that contain site-specific U/G or U/A mismatches. Dug excises a near stoichiometric amount of uracil from U/G-containing oligonucleotide substrate. The lack of turnover is the result of strong binding by Dug to the reaction product apyrimidinic-site

poorly expressed in exponentially growing cells. Mug is overexpressed as cells enter stationary phase, and it is maintained at a fairly high level in resting cells. This is true of cells grown in rich or minimal media, and the principal regulation of mug is at the level of mRNA. Although the expression of mug is strongly dependent on the stationary-phase sigma factor, when cells are grown in minimal media, it shows only a modest dependence on stationary-phase sigma factor when cells are grown in rich media
