Uracil in DNA--its biological significance.

Mutation research - 1 Dec 2010

Olinski Ryszard, Jurgowiak Marek, Zaremba Tomasz

Abstract excerpt

Uracil may arise in DNA as a result of spontaneous cytosine deamination and/or misincorporation of dUMP during DNA replication. In this paper we will review: (i) sources of the origin of uracil in DNA; (ii) some properties of the enzymes responsible for the excision of uracil and their role in th...
