Protein FULL name:endonuclease VIII-like 2 [Mus musculus].Neil2 (Mus musculus) is product of expression of Neil2 gene. FUNCTION: Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Has DNA glycosylase activity towards 5-hydroxyuracil and other oxidized derivatives of cytosine with a preference for mismatched double stranded DNA (DNA bubbles). Has low or no DNA glycosylase activity towards thymine glycol, 2-hydroxyadenine, hypoxanthine and 8-oxoguanine. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates (By similarity). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Removes damaged bases from DNA, leaving an abasic site. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: The C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA is broken by a beta-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate. ENZYME REGULATION: Acetylation of Lys-50 leads to loss of DNA nicking activity (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Binds EP300 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). DOMAIN: The zinc-finger domain is important for DNA binding. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FPG family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FPG-type zinc finger.
