INTRODUCTION
REV1 Polymerase (REV1) contains a BRCT domain, which is imperative in protein-protein interactions. REV1 is a deoxycytidyl transferase involved in DNA repair. REV1 assists in the 1st step in the bypass of abasic lesions by the incorporation of a nucleotide opposite the lesion. REV1 is essential for normal generation of mutations by physical and chemical agents. REV1 transfers a dCMP residue from dCTP to the 3'-end of a DNA primer in a template-dependent reaction. A role for the human Rev1-like protein has been suggested as a scaffold which recruits DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS) of damaged DNA.
DESCRIPTION
REV1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 227 amino acids (51-256) and having a molecular mass of 25.2kDa.
REV1 is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus.
