| UniProt functional annotation for P04303 | |||
| UniProt code: P04303. |
| Organism: | Vaccinia virus (strain Western Reserve) (VACV) (Vaccinia virus (strain WR)). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Varidnaviria; Bamfordvirae; Nucleocytoviricota; Pokkesviricetes; Chitovirales; Poxviridae; Chordopoxvirinae; Orthopoxvirus; Vaccinia virus. | |
| Function: | Excises uracil residues from the DNA which can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or due to deamination of cytosine. Also part of a heterodimeric processivity factor which potentiates the DNA polymerase activity. Binds to DNA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8291232}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Hydrolyzes single-stranded DNA or mismatched double-stranded DNA and polynucleotides, releasing free uracil.; EC=3.2.2.27; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with protein A20. Component of the Uracil-DNA glycosylase(UDG)-A20-polymerase complex; A20 and UDG form a heterodimeric processivity factor that associates with E9 to form the processive polymerase holoenzyme. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16326701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21572084}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily. UNG family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
