dna polymerase ii function
DNA polymerase II (also known as DNA Pol II or Pol II) is a prokaryotic DNA-Dependent DNA polymerase encoded by the PolB gene.DNA Polymerase II is an 89.9-kDa protein and is a member of the B family of DNA polymerases.It was originally isolated by Thomas Kornberg in 1970, and characterized over the next few years.NA Pol II is not the most studied polymerase so there are many proposed functions of this enzyme which are all likely functions but are ultimately unconfirmed. These are: repair of DNA damaged by UV irradiation, replication restart in UV-irradiated E. coli, adaptive mutagenesis, and long-term survival.
