Visualizing DNA polymerase ι catalyze Hoogsteen-directed DNA synthesis [PDF]
Translesion synthesis polymerases efficiently incorporate nucleotides opposite DNA lesions. Pol ι, for example, bypasses minor-groove and exocyclic purine adducts.

On the Binding of Rifampicin to the DNA‐Directed RNA Polymerase from Escherichia coli [PDF]
The capacity of RNA polymerase to bind the antibiotic rifampicin is rather sensitive to conditions which lead to conformational changes in the enzyme. Repeated freezing and thawing in 1 M LiCl as well as treatment with guanidinium chloride destroys the binding affinity of the enzyme for the inhibitor. Similarly rifampicin does not associate with any of

Data from DNA-Directed Polymerase Subunits Play a Vital Role in Human Telomeric Overhang Processing [PDF]
Abstract Telomeres consist of TTAGGG repeats bound by the shelterin complex and end with a 3′ overhang. In humans, telomeres shorten at each cell division, unless telomerase (TERT) is expressed and able to add telomeric repeats.

DNA-directed DNA Polymerase and Strand Displacement Activity of the Reverse Transcriptase Encoded by the R2 Retrotransposon [PDF]
R2 elements are non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons with a single open reading-frame encoding reverse transcriptase, DNA endonuclease and nucleic acid-binding domains. The elements are specialized for insertion into the 28 S rRNA genes of many animal phyla.

Mode of inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by polyacetylenetriol, a novel inhibitor of RNA- and DNA-directed DNA polymerases [PDF]
Polyacetylenetriol (PAT), a natural marine product from the Mediterranean sea sponge Petrosia sp., was found to be a novel general potent inhibitor of DNA polymerases. It inhibits equally well the RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities of retroviral reverse transcriptases (RTs) (i.e.

DNA-directed termination of mammalian RNA polymerase II
ABSTRACTThe best-studied mechanism of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional termination involves polyadenylation site-directed cleavage of the nascent RNA. The RNAPII-associated cleavage product is then degraded by XRN2, dislodging RNAPII from the DNA template.

DNA-directed termination of RNA polymerase II transcription [PDF]
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription involves initiation from a promoter, transcriptional elongation through the gene, and termination in the terminator region. In bacteria, terminators often contain specific DNA elements provoking polymerase dissociation, but RNAPII transcription termination is thought to be driven entirely by protein co-factors ...

Polymerase Mu Is a DNA-Directed DNA/RNA Polymerase [PDF]
DNA polymerases are defined as such because they use deoxynucleotides instead of ribonucleotides with high specificity. We show here that polymerase mu (pol μ), implicated in the nonhomologous end-joining pathway for repair of DNA double-strand breaks, incorporates both ribonucleotides and deoxynucleotides in a template-directed manner.
