UniProt functional annotation for P26811

UniProt code: P26811.

Organism: Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2) (Sulfolobus solfataricus).
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Saccharolobus.
 
Function: This polymerase possesses two enzymatic activities: DNA synthesis (polymerase) and an exonucleolytic activity that degrades single-stranded DNA in the 3'- to 5'-direction. DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and the flap endonuclease may be constitutively associated with the PCNA heterotrimer forming a scanning complex able to couple DNA synthesis and Okazaki fragment maturation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535540}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22508, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11130, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11131, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:61560, ChEBI:CHEBI:83828; EC=2.7.7.7;
Activity regulation: DNA synthesis is stimulated by PCNA heterotrimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535540}.
Subunit: Interacts with PCNA subunit PCNA2 and weakly with PCNA3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535540}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family. {ECO:0000305}.
