Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase epsilon (Pol epsilon) is a multi-subunit enzyme required for the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication. Here, we report the cloning of two fission yeast genes, called dpb3+ and dpb4+ that encode proteins homologous to the two smallest subunits of Pol epsilon. Although Dpb4 is not required for cell viability, Deltadpb4 mutants are synthetically lethal with mutations in four genes required for...
