UniProt functional annotation for P13382

UniProt code: P13382.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Catalytic component of DNA polymerase alpha, which in complex with DNA primase (DNA polymerase alpha:primase) constitutes a replicative polymerase (PubMed:10898792, PubMed:22119860, PubMed:31488849). POL1 has a role in promoting telomere replication during interaction with CDC13 (PubMed:10898792). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10898792, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22119860, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31488849}.
 
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:22119860};
Cofactor: Name=[4Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:49883; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:22119860}; Note=Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22119860};
Subunit: DNA polymerase alpha:primase is a four subunit enzyme complex, which is assembled throughout the cell cycle, and consists of the two DNA polymerase subunits A and B, and the DNA primase large and small subunits. Subunit B binds to subunit A (By similarity). POL1 interacts with CDC13, POB3, SPT16 and MCM10. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10898792, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16675460, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8621497, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9199353}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Domain: The CysA-type zinc finger is required for PCNA-binding. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15436}.
Domain: The CysB motif binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster and is required for the formation of polymerase complexes. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15436}.
Miscellaneous: In eukaryotes there are five DNA polymerases: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon which are responsible for different reactions of DNA synthesis.
Miscellaneous: Present with 1050 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family. {ECO:0000305}.
