Abstract excerpt
We report that POL5 encodes the fifth essential DNA polymerase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Pol5p was identified and purified from yeast cell extracts and is an aphidicolin-sensitive DNA polymerase that is stimulated by yeast proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Thus, we named Pol5p DNA polymerase phi. Temperature-sensitive pol5-1-- -3 mutants did not arrest at G(2)/M at the restrictive temperature....
