Abstract excerpt
By site-directed mutagenesis using synthetic oligonucleotides, amino acid residues 181Phe-Arg-Arg183 of recombinant rat DNA polymerase beta were replaced by other amino acids to clarify the roles of these residues in the DNA synthesizing reaction. Replacement of Phe-181 by alanine reduced the enzyme activity only 30%. Replacement of Arg-182 by alanine and glutamine resulted in reduction of the activity by about...
