single-strand selective uracil DNA N-glycosylase activity

Details:

Catalysis of the cleavage of the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar, releasing a free base and leaving an apyrimidinic (AP) site. Enzymes with this activity recognize and remove uracil bases present in single-stranded DNA. [GOC:elh, PMID:9224623]
