Poli

Protein FULL name:

polymerase (DNA directed), iota isoform 2 [Mus musculus].


Poli (Mus musculus) is product of expression of Poli gene.






FUNCTION: Error-prone 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. Favors Hoogsteen base-pairing in the active site. Inserts the correct base with high-fidelity opposite an adenosine template. Exhibits low fidelity and efficiency opposite a thymidine template, where it will preferentially insert guanosine. May play a role in hypermutation of immunogobulin genes. Forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but may not have lyase activity (By similarity).

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

COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity).

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

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). Note=Accumulates at replication forks after DNA damage (By similarity).

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in testis, and at very low levels in spleen, lung and brain. Detected in round spermatids, but not in prophase spermatocytes.

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 (By similarity).

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

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 umuC domain.
