Two positively charged residues of phi29 DNA polymerase, conserved in protein-primed DNA polymerases, are involved in stabilisation of the incoming nucleotide.

Abstract excerpt

In DNA polymerases from families A and B in the closed conformation, several positively charged residues, located in pre-motif B and motif B, have been shown to interact with the phosphate groups of the incoming nucleotide at the polymerisation active site: the invariant Lys of motif B and the nearly invariant Lys of pre-motif B (family B) correspond to a His in family A DNA polymerases. In phi29 DNA polymerase,...
