DNA Polymerase gamma Antibody [DyLight 488]

As the only DNA polymerase (pol) present in mitochondria, DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) is necessarily implicated in base excision repair processes to correct oxidative damage to the mitochondrial genome. Therefore, the ability of the catalytic subunit of human POLG has been tested to participate in uracil-provoked base excision repair reconstituted in vitro with purified components. Subsequent to actions of uracil-DNA glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, human POLG is able to fill a single nucleotide gap in the presence of a 5' terminal deoxyribose phosphate (dRP) flap. The catalytic subunit of human pol gamma catalyzes release of the dRP residue from incised apurinic/apyrimidinic sites to produce a substrate for DNA ligase. Faulty replication of the human mitochondrial genome is thought to be the cause of many diseases. The low selectivity of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase is implicated as the cause of many side effects observed in the treatment of viral infections such as HIV.
