Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli dnaX36 mutant displays a mutator effect, reflecting a fidelity function of the dnaX-encoded τ subunit of the DNA polymerase III (Pol III) holoenzyme. We have shown that this fidelity function (i) applies to both leading- and lagging-strand synthesis, (ii) is independent of Pol IV, and (iii) is limited by Pol II.
