Abstract excerpt
The removal of mis-incorporated nucleotides by proofreading activity ensures DNA replication fidelity. Whereas the ε-exonuclease DnaQ is a well-established proofreader in the model organism Escherichia coli, it has been shown that proofreading in a majority of bacteria relies on the polymerase and histidinol phosphatase (PHP) domain of replicative polymerase, despite the presence of a DnaQ homolog that is...
