Ability of Polymerase and T7 DNA Polymerase to Bypass
DNA misalignment occurs in homopolymer tracts during replication and can lead to frameshift mutations. Polymerase (pol) recognition of primer-templates containing bulge structures and the transmission of a bulge through a polymerase binding site or replication complex are important components of frameshift mutagenesis. In this report, we describe the interaction of the catalytic core of pol wit...
متن کاملBacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase – sequenase
An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: (1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; (2) high processivity; (3) high fidelity in the absence of proofreading/exonuclease activity; and (4) production of clear and uniform signals for detection. The DNA polymerase...
متن کاملDNA Replication: A familiar ring to DNA polymerase processivity
Structural similarity reveals that prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA polymerases share a mechanism for processivity--but the conservation of additional chromosomal replication mechanisms remains to be determined.
متن کاملT7 DNA polymerase in automated dideoxy sequencing.
T7 DNA polymerase with chemically inactivated 3'-5' exo-nuclease activity, as well as unmodified T7 DNA polymerase, were used for sequencing by the dideoxy method in an automated system with fluorescence labelled primer and on-line detection of laser-excited reaction products. An analysis of signal intensity variations in the C track revealed that low C signals were usually preceded by a T in t...
متن کاملA peptide switch regulates DNA polymerase processivity.
Chromosomal DNA polymerases are tethered to DNA by a circular sliding clamp for high processivity. However, lagging strand synthesis requires the polymerase to rapidly dissociate on finishing each Okazaki fragment. The Escherichia coli replicase contains a subunit (tau) that promotes separation of polymerase from its clamp on finishing DNA segments. This report reveals the mechanism of this pro...
