The proofreading mechanism of the human leading strand DNA polymerase ϵ holoenzyme
2025-04-12
Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic leading strand DNA polymerase epsilon is a dual function enzyme with a proofreading exonuclease site located 40 angstroms from the DNA synthesizing polymerase site. Errors in Pol epsilon proofreading can cause various mutations, including C to G transversions, the most prevalent mutation in cancers and genetic diseases. Pol epsilon interacts with all three subunits of the PCNA ring to assemble a fun...
