Abstract excerpt
It has previously been suggested that inhibition of the proofreading 3'-5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase may play an important role in generation of UV-induced mutations in Escherichia coli. Our previous work showing that overproduction of epsilon, the proofreading subunit of DNA polymer...
