Y-family DNA polymerase Dpo4 in complex with DNA containing abasic lesion
Structural highlights
1n48 is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Saccharolobus solfataricus P2. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DPO4_SACS2 Poorly processive, error-prone DNA polymerase involved in untargeted mutagenesis. Copies undamaged DNA at stalled replication forks, which arise in vivo from mismatched or misaligned primer ends. These misaligned primers can be extended by PolIV. Exhibits no 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity. It is involved in translesional synthesis.
