FUNCTION Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Has DNA glycosylase activity towards 5-hydroxyuracil and other oxidized derivatives of cytosine with a preference for mismatched double-stranded DNA (DNA bubbles). Has low or no DNA glycosylase activity towards thymine glycol, 2-hydroxyadenine, hypoxanthine and 8-oxoguanine. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2'-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-2'-deoxyribonucleotide-DNA = a 3'-end 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-(2,3-dehydro-2,3-deoxyribose 5'-phosphate)-DNA + a 5'-end 5'-phospho-2'-deoxyribonucleoside-DNA + H(+)ACTIVITY REGULATION Acetylation of Lys-50 leads to loss of DNA nicking activity. Acetylation of Lys-154 has no effect.SUBUNIT Binds EP300.INTERACTION Detected in testis, skeletal muscle, heart, brain, placenta, lung, pancreas, kidney and liver.DOMAIN The zinc-finger domain is important for DNA binding.SIMILARITY Belongs to the FPG family.
