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. 3'-Phosphatase activity is detected, and PfPNKP dephosphorylates single-stranded substrates or double-stranded substrates with a short 3'-single-stranded overhang, but not double-stranded substrates that mimick single-strand breaks. But the recombinant PfPNKP does not reveal 5'-kinase activity | ? | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | differences between PfPNKP and the other PNKP Walker A box/P loops: the sequence of the P-loop consensus sequence is hGxPGxGKSTh (h is hydrophobic, x is any amino acid), whereas the sequence of the P-loop of PfPNKP is IGPPGCGKTFL. Second, the difference between glutamic acid at position 330 of PfPNKP | Plasmodium falciparum |
physiological function | PfPNKP may not be involved in single-strand break repair, since alternative terminal processing mechanisms can substitute for PfPNKP, PfPNKP DNA repair actions may be confined to overhanging termini of double-strand breaks | Plasmodium falciparum |
