| - | '''DNA glycosylase''' (DG) are enzymes which remove damaged DNA bases by flipping them out of the double helix followed by their cleavage. Monofunctional DG have only glycosylase activity; bifunctional DG also act as lysates; ADG, UDG, TDG remove adenine, uracil, thymine from DNA.<br /> | + | '''DNA glycosylase''' (DG) are enzymes which remove damaged DNA bases by flipping them out of the double helix followed by their cleavage.

* '''Adenine DNA glycosylase''' is also called '''MutY'''. MutY has a role in prevention of DNA mutations resulting from oxidative damage forming the mutated base oxoG. DNA polymerase misreads oxoG and pairs it with adenine instead of cytosine. MutY removes adenine from the mismatched oxoG:A pair. MutY contains a 4Fe4S cluster.<br /> | * '''Adenine DNA glycosylase''' is also called '''MutY'''.
