Excision of 5-halogenated Uracils by Human Thymine DNA Glycosylase: Robust Activity for DNA Contexts other than CpG

Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) excises thymine from G·T mispairs, and removes a variety of damaged bases (X), with a preference for lesions in a CpG·X context. We recently reported that human TDG rapidly excises 5-halogenated uracils, exhibiting much greater activity for CpG·FU, CpG·ClU, and CpG·BrU...
