Abstract excerpt
UdgX from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsmUdgX) is a prototypical enzyme representing a new class of uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDG) closely related to the family 4 enzymes. It possesses a unique R-loop rich in positive residues and forms a covalent bond with single-stranded uracil-containing DNAs (ssDNA-Us) that is resistant to denaturants after the removal of the target uracil. We previously identified the H109E...
