Function
[UNG_VACCC] 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). [A20_VACCC] Plays an essential role in viral DNA replication by acting as the polymerase processivity factor together with protein D4. May serve as a bridge which links the DNA polymerase E9 and the uracil DNA glycosylase (By similarity).
