REFINED SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF DNA POLYMERASE BETAREFINED SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF DNA POLYMERASE BETA
Structural highlights
1dk2 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Rattus norvegicus. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DPOLB_RAT Repair polymerase that plays a key role in base-excision repair. Has 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity that removes the 5' sugar phosphate and also acts as a DNA polymerase that adds one nucleotide to the 3' end of the arising single-nucleotide gap. Conducts 'gap-filling' DNA synthesis in a stepwise distributive fashion rather than in a processive fashion as for other DNA polymerases.
