Structural highlights
Function[POLI_HUMAN] 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.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilon dA) lesion is promutagenic and has been implicated in carcinogenesis. We show here that human Pol iota, a Y-family DNA polymerase, can promote replication through this lesion by proficiently incorporating a nucleotide opposite it. The structural basis of this action is rotation of the epsilon dA adduct to the syn conformation in the Pol iota active site and presentation of its 'Hoogsteen edge' for hydrogen-bonding with incoming dTTP or dCTP. We also show that Pol zeta carries out the subsequent extension reaction and that efficiency of extension from epsilon dA x T is notably higher than from epsilon dA x C. Together, our studies reveal for the first time how the exocyclic epsilon dA adduct is accommodated in a DNA polymerase active site, and they show that the combined action of Pol iota and Pol zeta provides for efficient and error-free synthesis through this potentially carcinogenic DNA lesion. Hoogsteen base pair formation promotes synthesis opposite the 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine lesion by human DNA polymerase iota.,Nair DT, Johnson RE, Prakash L, Prakash S, Aggarwal AK Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2006 Jul;13(7):619-25.
