Gene Ontology Help

DNA polymerase delta 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
Believed to be the major polymerase for the elongation of both leading and lagging strands of chromosomal DNA in eukaryotic cells. Required for Okazaki fragment maturation together with Fen1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The 3'-5'-exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase delta is important for this process. Also involved in telomerase-mediated telomere addition and participates in several DNA repair pathways
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 metabolic process, cellular nitrogen compound metabolic process
