Function

Cofactor:

Structure

  • catalytic core consists of fingers, palm & thumb subdomains, but the fingers & 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 & nucleotide substrates with relaxed geometric constraints, with consequently higher rates of misincorporation & low processivity
  • belongs to the DNA polymerase type-Y family
  • contains 1 umuC domain
