Abstract excerpt
Uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG) is found in most organisms as well as in large DNA viruses. Its inhibitory proteins, including uracil glycosylase inhibitor (UGI) and p56, tightly bind to the active site of UNG by mimicking the DNA substrates. As the binding motifs are conserved in UNG family proteins, the inhibitory proteins bind to various UNG proteins across species. However, the intercalation residue that...
