Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus DNA polymerase (Ad pol) is a eukaryotic-type DNA polymerase involved in the catalysis of protein-primed initiation as well as DNA polymerization. The functional significance of the (I/Y)XGG motif, highly conserved among eukaryotic-type DNA polymerases, was analyzed in Ad pol by site-directed mutagenesis of four conserved amino acids. All mutant polymerases could bind primer-template DNA efficiently but...
