Abstract excerpt
Sulfolobus solfataricus DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4) is a member of the Y family of DNA polymerases whose crystal structure has recently been solved. As a model for other evolutionarily conserved Y family members that perform translesion DNA synthesis and have low fidelity, we describe here the base substitution and frameshift fidelity of DNA synthesis by Dpo4. Dpo4 generates all 12 base-base mismatches at high...
