Uracil-DNA Glycosylase Is Involved in DNA Demethylation and Required for Embryonic Development in the Zebrafish Embryo
17 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Uracil-DNA glycosylase (Ung) is a component of the base excision repair process and has the ability to remove uracil from U:G mispairs in DNA. However, its implications in development of vertebrate embryos are poorly understood. In this study, we found that zebrafish uracil-DNA glycosylase a (Unga) is maternally expressed at high levels and accumulated in nuclei during cleavage and blastulation periods. Knockdown...
