Biochem Physiol Actions: Nudt15 mediates the hydrolysis of some nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. It can degrade 8-oxo-dGTP in vitro, suggesting that it may remove an oxidatively damaged form of guanine (7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine) from DNA and the nucleotide pool, thereby preventing misincorporation of 8-oxo-dGTP into DNA thus preventing A:T to C:G transversions. Its substrate specificity in vivo however remains unclear. Nudt15 may have a role in DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression throught the interaction with PCNA.
