| Gene Full Name | polymerase (DNA directed) kappa |
| Background | External and internal DNA-damaging agents continually threaten the integrity of genetic material in cells. Although a variety of repair mechanisms exist to remove the resulting lesions, some lesions escape repair and block the replication machinery. Members of the Y family of DNA polymerases, such as POLK, permit the continuity of the replication fork by allowing replication through such DNA lesions. Each Y family polymerase has a unique DNA-damage bypass and fidelity profile. POLK is specialized for the extension step of lesion bypass (summary by Lone et al., 2007 [PubMed 17317631]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2010] |
| Function | DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. Plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high-fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions, transversions and frameshifts. Lacks 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity. Forms a Schiff base with 5'-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have lyase activity. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Nucleus. Note=Detected throughout the nucleus and at replication foci (PubMed:12414988). Recruited to DNA damage sites in response to ultraviolet irradiation: N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing mRNAs accumulate in the vicinity of DNA damage sites and their presence is required to recruit POLK (PubMed:28297716).
