POL — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G44820V3 (BdPOL) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with domains including DNA_pol_X, BRCT, and PolB_thumb, and exhibits DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity (EC 2.7.7.7), 5'-deoxyribose phosphate activity, DNA ligase (ATP) activity, and binding to DNA, ATP, manganese, and proteins. The gene is associated with base-excision repair, non-homologous end joining, nucleotide excision repair, double-strand break repair, DNA replication, transposition, and responses to X-ray, UV-B, heat, arsenic, and bacterial defence. It is linked to traits including radiation response, temperature stress response, flowering time, disease tolerance, root morphology, and embryo development. Related genes in other species are associated with DNA double-strand break repair, seed longevity, and hypersensitivity to UV-B.
