Altered hematopoiesis in mice lacking DNA polymerase mu is due to inefficient double-strand break repair. [PDF]
Polymerase micro (Polmicro) is an error-prone, DNA-directed DNA polymerase that participates in non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair. In vivo, Polmicro deficiency results in impaired Vkappa-Jkappa recombination and altered somatic hypermutation and ...

Two structurally distinct forms of RNA-directed DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus were resolved by chromatography on phosphocellulose and purified. In addition to RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity, both enzymes had ribonuclease H (RNase H)

Darwin Assembly: fast, efficient, multi-site bespoke mutagenesis [PDF]
Engineering proteins for designer functions and biotechnological applications almost invariably requires (or at least benefits from) multiple mutations to non-contiguous residues.

New link between the RNA polymerase II-CTD and replication stress
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 ...

Endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity in uninfected chicken embryos.
Early chicken embryos that are either positive or negative for group-specific antigens of avian leukosis viruses contained endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. This endogenous DNA polymerase activity was not increased after mixture of soluble

Plasmid-based lacZalpha assay for DNA polymerase fidelity: application to archaeal family-B DNA polymerase [PDF]
The preparation of a gapped pUC18 derivative, containing the lacZalpha reporter gene in the single-stranded region, is described. Gapping is achieved by flanking the lacZalpha gene with sites for two related nicking endonucleases, enabling the excision ...

RNA-directed DNA methylation involves co-transcriptional small-RNA-guided slicing of polymerase V transcripts in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Small RNAs regulate chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation and gene silencing across eukaryotic genomes. In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) requires 24-nucleotide small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that bind to ARGONAUTE 4 (AGO4) and ...
