additional information | Plasmodium falciparum | polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase is a bifunctional enzyme that can phosphorylate the 5'-OH termini and dephosphorylate the 3'-phosphate termini of DNA. Recombinant GFP-tagged PfPNKP dephosphorylates single-stranded substrates or double-stranded substrates with a short 3-single-stranded overhang, but not double-stranded substrates that mimicked single-strand breaks | ? | - |

physiological function | polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase is a bifunctional enzyme that can phosphorylate the 5'-OH termini and dephosphorylate the 3'-phosphate termini of DNA. It is a DNA repair enzyme involved in the processing of strand break termini, which permits subsequent repair proteins to replace missing nucleotides and rejoin broken strands. PfPNKP may not be involved in single-strand break repair, since alternative terminal processing mechanisms can substitute for PfPNKP, and that PfPNKP DNA repair actions may be confined to overhanging termini of double-strand breaks | Plasmodium falciparum |
