DNA polymerase DpoZ

UniProtKB accession:  G3FFN8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  DNA polymerase that preferentially incorporates the non-canonical base aminoadenine/dZTP instead of adenine into the synthesized DNA. More efficient in using dZTP instead of dATP as a substrate. In addition to this preference for dZTP, the phage also encodes a dATP triphosphohydrolase that removes dATP and its precursor dADP from the nucleotide pool of the host.
