Abstract excerpt
Human DNA polymerase γ (POLG) is a mitochondria-specific replicative DNA polymerase consisting of a single catalytic subunit, POLGα, and a dimeric accessory subunit, POLGβ. To gain a deeper understanding of the role of POLGβ, we knocked out this protein in cultured human cybrid cells and established numerous knockout clones. POLGβ-knockout clones presented a clear phenotype of mitochondrial DNA loss, indicating...
