Thermostable uracil-DNA glycosylase from Thermotoga maritima a member of a novel class of DNA repair enzymes
- M. Sandigursky, W. A. Franklin
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 20 May 1999
Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is a ubiquitous enzyme found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes [1][2][3]. This enzyme removes uracil bases that are present in DNA as a result of either deamination of… Expand

- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 23 March 2001
The interaction of human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) with human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (HAP1) was demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation. A combination of HSP70 and HAP1 also caused a… Expand
