The aim of this study was to determine the excision efficiency of hSMUG1 (human single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase) for 5-formyluracil (fU), a major thymine lesion formed by ionizing radiation, opposite all normal bases in DNA, to possibly explain mutation induction by fU in the DNA of mammalian cells.
