Crystallographic Structure of HHV-1 Uracil-DNA Glycosylase complexed with the Bacillus phage PZA inhibitor protein p56

Structural highlights
FunctionUNG_HHV11 Excises uracil residues from the DNA which can arise as a result of misincorporation of dUMP residues by DNA polymerase or deamination of cytosine. Therefore may reduce deleterious uracil incorporation into the viral genome, particularly, in terminally differentiated neurons which lack DNA repair enzymes.[1] [2] See AlsoReferences
