Gene Ontology Help

DNA polymerase zeta complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Low-fidelity non-essential DNA polymerase that is involved in translesion DNA synthesis. Required for the majority of spontaneous mutagenesis in wild-type yeast cells, as well as for mutagenesis associated with transcription, with double-strand break repair, and with defective DNA repair.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

DNA binding, nucleotidyltransferase activity, transferase activity, DNA damage response, DNA metabolic process, DNA repair, biosynthetic process, response to stress, mitochondrion, nucleus, organelle
