GO TERM SUMMARY
|
Name: |
pyrimidine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity |
Acc: |
GO:0008263 |
Aspect: |
Molecular Function |
Desc: |
Catalysis of the removal of mismatched pyrimidine bases in DNA. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove pyrimidines present in mismatches by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apyrimidinic (AP) site. |
Synonyms:
- G/T-mismatch-specific thymine-DNA glycosylase activity
