| Function: | DNA polymerase that functions in several pathways of DNA repair (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240). Involved in base excision repair (BER) responsible for repair of lesions that give rise to abasic (AP) sites in DNA (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195). Also contributes to DNA double-strand break repair by non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination (PubMed:19806195, PubMed:20693240). Has both template-dependent and template-independent (terminal transferase) DNA polymerase activities (PubMed:10982892, PubMed:10887191, PubMed:12809503, PubMed:14627824, PubMed:15537631, PubMed:19806195). Has also a 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity (PubMed:11457865, PubMed:19806195). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10887191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10982892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11457865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12809503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14627824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15537631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19806195, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20693240}. | |
| 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; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10887191, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10982892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12809503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14627824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15537631, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19806195}; | |
