Abstract excerpt
Replicative DNA polymerases possess 3' --> 5' exonuclease activity to reduce misincorporation of incorrect nucleotides by proofreading during replication. To examine if this proofreading activity modulates DNA synthesis of damaged templates, we constructed a series of recombinant human DNA polymerase delta (Pol delta) in which one or two of the three conserved Asp residues in the exonuclease domain are mutated,...
