Abstract excerpt
The DNA polymerases delta and epsilon are the major replicative polymerases in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that possess 3' --> 5' exonuclease proofreading activity. Many errors arising during replication are corrected by these exonuclease activities. We have investigated the contributions of regions of Polepsilon other than the proofreading motifs to replication accuracy. An allele, pol2-C1089Y, was...
