Abstract excerpt
Uracil-DNA-glycosylase has been proposed to function as the first enzyme in strand-directed mismatch repair in eukaryotic organisms, through removal of uracil from dUMP residues periodically inserted into the DNA during DNA replication (Aprelikova, O. N., V. M. Golubovskaya, T. A. Kusmin, and N. V. Tomilin, Mutat. Res. 213:135-140, 1989). This hypothesis was investigated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mutation...
