Abstract excerpt
The effect of exonuclease activity of the herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase (Pol) on DNA replication fidelity was examined by using the supF mutagenesis assay. The recombinants with exonuclease-deficient Pol, containing an integrated supF gene in the thymidine kinase locus (tk), exhibited supF mutation frequencies ranging from 0.14 to 5.6%, consistent with the tk mutation frequencies reported previously (Y. T....
