DNA polymerase λ - a novel DNA repair enzyme in higher plant genome
نویسنده
چکیده
DNA polymerase lambda (Pol λ) is a novel family X DNA polymerase which has been shown to play key role in nuclear DNA repair and meiotic recombination. Recent studies in mammals support function of this enzyme in base excision repair in response to oxidative DNA damage. However, in plants the biological function of Pol λ in oxidative stress response is still largely unknown. This review will survey recent advances in our understanding of role of Pol λ in repair of oxidative DNA damages and its possible potential involvement in plant’s base excision repair (BER) pathway in response to oxidative stress.

متن کاملDNA Polymerases λ and β: The Double-Edged Swords of DNA Repair
DNA is constantly exposed to both endogenous and exogenous damages. More than 10,000 DNA modifications are induced every day in each cell's genome. Maintenance of the integrity of the genome is accomplished by several DNA repair systems. The core enzymes for these pathways are the DNA polymerases. Out of 17 DNA polymerases present in a mammalian cell, at least 13 are specifically devoted to DNA...
متن کاملDNA polymerases δ and λ cooperate in repairing double-strand breaks by microhomology-mediated end-joining in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Maintenance of genome stability is carried out by a suite of DNA repair pathways that ensure the repair of damaged DNA and faithful replication of the genome. Of particular importance are the repair pathways, which respond to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), and how the efficiency of repair is influenced by sequence homology. In this study, we developed a genetic assay in diploid Saccharomyces ...
