EC 3.2.2.29

Names

Accepted name:
thymine-DNA glycosylase
Other names:
mismatch-specific thymine-DNA glycosylase
mismatch-specific thymine-DNA N-glycosylase
hTDG
hsTDG
TDG
thymine DNA glycosylase
G/T glycosylase
uracil/thymine DNA glycosylase
T:G mismatch-specific thymidine-DNA glycosylase
G:T mismatch-specific thymine DNA-glycosylase
Systematic name:
thymine-DNA deoxyribohydrolase (thymine-releasing)

Reaction

Comments:

Thymine-DNA glycosylase is part of the DNA-repair machinery. Thymine removal is fastest when it is from a G/T mismatch with a 5'-flanking C/G pair. The glycosylase removes uracil from G/U, C/U, and T/U base pairs faster than it removes thymine from G/T [3].
