DNA-directed DNA Polymerase Activity in Oncogenic RNA Viruses
Nature, 1970 Besides having RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, oncogenic RNA viruses possess a DNA-directed DNA polymerase which is distinguished from previously described enzymes of this type in preferring double-stranded DNA as template and yielding a principally double-stranded product.

Bst polymerase — a humble relative of Taq polymerase
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 DNA polymerases are a superfamily of enzymes synthesizing DNA using DNA as a template. They are essential for nucleic acid metabolism and for DNA replication and repair.

New link between the RNA polymerase II-CTD and replication stress
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021 Conflicts between transcription and replication are a major source of replication stress. Our recent findings show that proper dephosphorylation of Serine 5 in the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1 is needed to ...

Mechanisms of PARP inhibitor resistance in cancer and insights into the DNA damage response
Genome Medicine, 2018 Editorial summary Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARPi) have entered the clinic for the treatment of patients with cancers that lack homology-directed DNA repair, but drug resistance remains a clinical hurdle.

The ability to form homodimers is essential for RDM1 to function in RNA-directed DNA methylation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 RDM1 (RNA-DIRECTED DNA METHYLATION1) is a small plant-specific protein required for RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RDM1 interacts with RNA polymerase II (Pol II), ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), and the de novo DNA methyltransferase DOMAINS REARRANGED ...

Amplification of 4–9-kb Human Genomic DNA Flanking a Known Site Using a Panhandle PCR Variant
BioTechniques, 1997 We present a method for the in vitro amplification of >6.0 kb of DNA flanking a known site. This is accomplished by ligating an oligonucleotide to create an inverted repeat of a portion of the known sequence, followed by single-primer polymerase chain ...

Isolation and physical properties of the DNA‐directed RNA polymerase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1990 The DNA‐directed RNA polymerase from the extremely thermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 was purified employing a new and rapid method. The subunit pattern of the enzyme, analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis, was interpreted as: 140 kDa and 170 kDa for β and β′, 40 kDa for α and 92 kDa for ó.

T4 DNA polymerase improves the efficiency of multiple site-directed mutagenesis
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016 Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) is a useful tool to study the functions of regulatory sequences of DNA and RNA, and the structures and functions of proteins. Numerous methods have been developed for either single or multiple SDM (MSDM).
