FunFam 2: G/T mismatch-specific thymine DNA glycosylase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Thymine-DNA glycosylase. [EC: 3.2.2.29]
Hydrolyzes mismatched double-stranded DNA and polynucleotides, releasing free thymine.
  • Thymine-DNA glycosylase is part of the DNA-repair machinery.
  • Thymine removal is fastest when it is from a G/T mismatch with a 5'-flanking C/G pair.
  • The glycosylase removes uracil from G/U, C/U, and T/U base pairs faster than it removes thymine from G/T.
