Supplementary information

SMUG1 also known as Single-strand-selective Monofunctional Uracil-DNA Glycosylase 1 plays a role in DNA repair mechanisms. It is an enzyme involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway specializing in the removal of uracil from single-stranded DNA. SMUG1 has a molecular weight of about 33 kDa. The protein is expressed in various tissues with notable presence in the brain liver and lung. Its expression levels adjust according to the tissue's need for active DNA repair.
Biological function summary

The process of DNA metabolism relies heavily on mechanisms related to the SMUG1 enzyme. As part of the DNA repair machinery it identifies and excises uracil bases from DNA which result from deamination of cytosine or misincorporation during DNA synthesis. SMUG1 does not function within a larger protein complex but interacts dynamically with other repair proteins like AP endonucleases. This activity helps maintain genomic stability by preventing mutations that could arise from uracil incorporation.

Pathways

SMUG1 contributes importantly to the base excision repair pathway an important process for DNA maintenance. This pathway addresses small non-helix-distorting base lesions such as deaminated oxidized or alkylated bases. Within this pathway SMUG1's activity aligns with other glycosylases and the APEX1 protein which processes the abasic sites left after SMUG1 removes uracil. Furthermore SMUG1's function supports the overall cellular DNA damage response signaling when repair and further processing are necessary.

Alterations in the SMUG1 protein have connections to cancer and neurodegeneration. Loss of SMUG1 activity may result in accumulation of mutations due to unprocessed uracil in the DNA contributing to tumorigenesis. In particular studies have shown links between SMUG1 and glioma where defective DNA repair mechanisms escalate mutation rates. Also in neurodegenerative disorders it contributes directly through genomic instability with connections to APEX1 showing potential overlapping repair functions critical for neuron maintenance.

Target data

Recognizes base lesions in the genome and initiates base excision DNA repair. Acts as a monofunctional DNA glycosylase specific for uracil (U) residues in DNA with a preference for single-stranded DNA substrates. The activity is greater toward mismatches (U/G) compared to matches (U/A). Excises uracil (U), 5-formyluracil (fU) and uracil derivatives bearing an oxidized group at C5 [5-hydroxyuracil (hoU) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil (hmU)] in ssDNA and dsDNA, but not analogous cytosine derivatives (5-hydroxycytosine and 5-formylcytosine), nor other oxidized bases. The activity is damage-specific and salt-dependent. The substrate preference is the following : ssDNA > dsDNA (G pair) = dsDNA (A pair) at low salt concentration, and dsDNA (G pair) > dsDNA (A pair) > ssDNA at high salt concentration.
