Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) offers a simple system to examine the role of polymerase structure in the fidelity of DNA synthesis. In this study, the M282L variant of pol beta (M282Lbeta) was identified using an in vivo genetic screen. Met282, which does not contact the DNA template or the incoming deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) substrate, is located on alpha-helix N of pol beta. This mutant enzyme...
