Abstract excerpt
Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is an important repair enzyme in all organisms to remove uracil bases from DNA. Recent biochemical studies have revealed that human nuclear UDG (UNG2) forms a multiprotein complex in replication foci and initiates the base excision repair pathway by interacting with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Here, we show the physical and functional interactions between UDG and PCNA...
