Abstract excerpt
A mutant allele (pol3-L612M) of the DNA polymerase delta gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that confers sensitivity to the antiviral drug phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) was constructed. We report that PAA-sensitivity tagging DNA polymerases is a useful method for selectively and reversibly inhibiting one type of DNA polymerase. Our initial studies reveal that replication by the L612M-DNA pol delta requires Rad27 flap...
