Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalytic subunit of the DNA polymerase zeta complex, an error-prone polymerase specialized in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). Lacks an intrinsic 3'-5' exonuclease activity and thus has no proofreading function.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY DNA(n) + a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate = DNA(n+1) + diphosphateCOFACTOR Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES kcat is 0.31 min(-1) for DNA synthesis by Pol-zeta4. kcat is 0.05 min(-1) for DNA synthesis by Pol-zeta2.SUBUNIT Heterodimer with MAD2L2. This dimer forms the minimal DNA polymerase zeta complex (Pol-zeta2), with REV3L bearing DNA polymerase catalytic activity, although its activity is very low in this context. Component of the tetrameric Pol-zeta complex (Pol-zeta4), which consists of REV3L, MAD2L2, POLD2 and POLD3; Pol-zeta4 is the fully active form of DNA polymerase zeta. Forms a quaternary complex with POLK, MAD2L2 and REV1, where REV3L-bound MAD2L2 and POLK are able to bind simultaneously to REV1 forming the stable translesion synthesis (TLS) machinery therefore bridging the inserter and extender polymerases (PubMed:23143872).INTERACTION Ubiquitously expressed.DOMAIN Its C-terminal part could serve as the catalytic domain during nucleotide polymerization, while its N-terminal part could provide sites for protein-protein interactions with other factors during translesion DNA synthesis.DOMAIN The CysB motif binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster and is required for the formation of polymerase complexes.SIMILARITY Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family.
