POLK

Protein FULL name:

DNA polymerase kappa [Homo sapiens].


POLK (Homo sapiens) is product of expression of POLK gene.


POLK is involved in:

TLS in Homo sapiens
     


Keywords:



FUNCTION: DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. Plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high-fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions, transversions and frameshifts. Lacks 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity. Forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have lyase activity.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1).

COFACTOR: Divalent metal cations. Prefers magnesium, but can also use manganese.

BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 6.5-7.5; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 37 degrees Celsius;

SUBUNIT: Binds REV1L (By similarity). Binds PCNA.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Note=Detected throughout the nucleus and at replication foci.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected at low levels in testis, spleen, prostate and ovary. Detected at very low levels in kidney, colon, brain, heart, liver, lung, placenta, pancreas and peripheral blood leukocytes.

DOMAIN: The catalytic core consists of fingers, palm and thumb subdomains, but the fingers and thumb subdomains are much smaller than in high-fidelity polymerases; residues from five sequence motifs of the Y-family cluster around an active site cleft that can accommodate DNA and nucleotide substrates with relaxed geometric constraints, with consequently higher rates of misincorporation and low processivity.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-Y family.

SIMILARITY: Contains 2 Rad18-type zinc fingers.

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 umuC domain.
