pyrimidine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity

Term ID

GO:0008263

Synonyms

• G/T-mismatch-specific thymine-DNA glycosylase activity

Definition

Catalysis of the removal of mismatched pyrimidine bases in DNA. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove pyrimidines present in mismatches by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apyrimidinic (AP) site. 9224623
