Comments [?]

FUNCTIONInvolved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Acts as DNA glycosylase that recognizes and removes damaged bases. Has a preference for oxidized pyrimidines, such as thymine glycol, 5,6-dihydrouracil and 5,6-dihydrothymine. 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.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2'-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-2'- deoxyribonucleotide-DNA = a 3'-end 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2,3- dehydro-2,3-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-DNA + a 5'-end 5'-phospho-2'- deoxyribonucleoside-DNA + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:66592, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:13180, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:16897, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:17067, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:136412, ChEBI:CHEBI:157695, ChEBI:CHEBI:167181; EC=4.2.99.18;
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
SIMILARITYBelongs to the FPG family.
