pyrimidine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity
id: GO:0008263
name: pyrimidine-specific mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the removal of mismatched pyrimidine bases in DNA. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove pyrimidines present in mismatches by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apyrimidinic (AP) site.
