Abstract excerpt
The replicative polymerase of Escherichia coli, DNA polymerase III, consists of a three-subunit core polymerase plus seven accessory subunits. Of these seven, tau and gamma are products of one replication gene, dnaX. The shorter gamma is created from within the tau reading frame by a programmed ribosomal -1 frameshift over codons 428 and 429 followed by a stop codon in the new frame. Two temperature-sensitive...
