      Kroustallaki, Pinelopi; Lirussi, Lisa; Carracedo, Sergio; You, Panpan; Esbensen, Qin Ying; Götz, Alexandra; Jobert, Laure; Alsøe, Lene; Sætrom, Pål; Gagos, Sarantis; Nilsen, Hilde (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Telomerase biogenesis is a complex process where several steps remain poorly understood. Single-strand-selective uracil-DNA glycosylase (SMUG1) associates with the DKC1-containing H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex, which is ...
    • Uracil Accumulation and Mutagenesis Dominated by Cytosine Deamination in CpG Dinucleotides in Mice Lacking UNG and SMUG

      Both a DNA lesion and an intermediate for antibody maturation, uracil is primarily processed by base excision repair (BER), either initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) or by single-strand selective monofunctional ...
