Structural highlights
FunctionDPOLB_HUMAN 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.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedDNA polymerase beta (pol beta) lyase removal of 5'-deoxyribose phosphate (5'-dRP) from base excision repair (BER) intermediates is critical in mammalian BER involving the abasic site. We found that pol beta also removes 5'-adenylated dRP from BER intermediates after abortive ligation. The crystal structure of a human pol beta-DNA complex showed the 5'-AMP-dRP group positioned in the lyase active site. Pol beta expression rescued methyl methanesulfonate sensitivity in aprataxin (hnt3)- and FEN1 (rad27)-deficient yeast.
