A plant DNA glycosylase/lyase involved in active DNA demethylation through a repair-associated pathway.
Active replacement can counterbalance methylation-dependent silencing at selected loci. This differs from passive dilution of a mark during replication, because the modified base is enzymatically removed through a repair-linked pathway. [ref]
