SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on human glycosylases, specifically highlighting known enzymes such as UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, OGG1, MYH, NTHL1, MPG, NEIL1, NEIL2, NEIL3, and UDG2. Participants inquire about any newly discovered glycosylases beyond this list, emphasizing the importance of staying current with the latest research. For updated protein sequences, the forum suggests utilizing resources like ExPASy (http://expasy.org) to access annotated sequences and information on putative proteins.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DNA repair mechanisms
  • Familiarity with glycosylase functions in cellular processes
  • Knowledge of protein sequence databases
  • Basic comprehension of molecular biology terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest discoveries in human glycosylases
  • Explore the ExPASy database for updated protein sequences
  • Investigate the roles of newly identified glycosylases in DNA repair
  • Learn about the biochemical mechanisms of glycosylases
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in molecular biology, geneticists, and biochemists focusing on DNA repair mechanisms and the role of glycosylases in cellular processes.

Hi I was wondering, if there were any human glycosylases,
other than these, I got this list from DNA repair and mutagenesis, Friedberg EC, Walker GC, Siede W, Wood RD, Schultz RA, Ellenberger T (2006) ASM Press, Washington, DC.

UNG
SMUG1
MBD4
TDG
OGG1
MYH
NTHL1
MPG
NEIL1
NEIL2
NEIL3
UDG2

But others may have been discovered since the list so I was wondering if they have been and if so which ones were, thanks

For known, up-to-date annotated protein sequences, I would suggest checking http://expasy.org" may also be useful in keeping one's self up to date on the latest sequence information, especially if there are putative proteins that have been identified in the nucleotide sequence.

Happy searching!
