| UniProt functional annotation for P21189 | |||
| UniProt code: P21189. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Thought to be involved in DNA repair and/or mutagenesis. Its processivity is enhanced by the beta sliding clamp (dnaN) and clamp loader (PubMed:1999435, PubMed:1534562). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1534562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1999435}. | |
| 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 polymerase II activity is regulated by the lexA gene during the SOS response. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
