Pol epsilon

Protein FULL name:

Catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase (II) epsilon, a chromosomal DNA replication polymerase that exhibits processivity and proofreading exonuclease activity; also involved in DNA synthesis during DNA repair; interacts extensively with Mrc1p


Protein SHORT name:

DNA polymerase (II) epsilon, Pol2p, DUN2


Pol epsilon (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is product of expression of POL2 gene.


Pol epsilon is involved in:

MMR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
     
BER in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
     
HRR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae NER in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
     


Keywords:



FUNCTION: DNA polymerase epsilon (DNA polymerase II) participates in chromosomal DNA replication. It is required during synthesis of the leading and lagging DNA strands at the replication fork and binds at/or near replication origins and moves along DNA with the replication fork. It has 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity that correct errors arising during DNA replication. It is also involved in DNA synthesis during DNA repair.

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

SUBUNIT: DNA polymerase epsilon is a heterotetramer consisting of POL2, DPB2, DPB3 and DPB4.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.

DOMAIN: The DNA polymerase activity domain resides in the N- terminal half of the protein, while the C-terminus is necessary for complexing subunits B and C.

MISCELLANEOUS: In eukaryotes there are five DNA polymerases: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon which are responsible for different reactions of DNA synthesis.

MISCELLANEOUS: Present with 1970 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium.

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