Live culture-based qPCR screening of Taq DNA polymerase variants for resistance to PCR inhibitors [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyWe present a live culture PCR (LC-PCR) workflow that enables direct screening of randomly mutagenized Thermus aquaticus (Taq) and Klentaq1 DNA polymerase libraries without enzyme purification.

Nsp1 stalls DNA polymerase α at DNA hairpins [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe human primosome, a four-subunit complex of DNA primase and DNA polymerase alpha (Polα), plays a critical role in DNA replication by initiating RNA and DNA synthesis on both chromosome strands. A recent study has shown that a major virulence factor in

DNA polymerase swapping in Caudoviricetes bacteriophages [PDF]
Virology JournalBackground Viruses with double-stranded (ds) DNA genomes in the realm Duplodnaviria share a conserved structural gene module but show a broad range of variation in their repertoires of DNA replication proteins. Some of the duplodnaviruses encode (nearly)

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Maintenance of genome integrity is a key process in all organisms. DNA polymerases (Pols) are central players in this process as they are in charge of the faithful reproduction of the genetic information, as well as of DNA repair. Interestingly, all eukaryotes possess a large repertoire of polymerases.

DNA polymerases in Biotechnology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 DNA polymerases are core tools for molecular biology including PCR, whole genome amplification, DNA sequencing and genotyping. Research has focused on discovery of novel DNA polymerases, characterization of DNA polymerase biochemistry and development of new replication assays. These studies have accelerated DNA polymerase engineering for biotechnology.

Interactions of the Bacillus subtilis DnaE polymerase with replisomal proteins modulate its activity and fidelity [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 During Bacillus subtilis replication two replicative polymerases function at the replisome to collectively carry out genome replication. In a reconstituted in vitro replication assay, PolC is the main polymerase while the lagging strand DnaE polymerase ...

DNA polymerase III protein, HolC, helps resolve replication/transcription conflicts
Microbial Cell, 2021 In Escherichia coli, DNA replication is catalyzed by an assembly of proteins, the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme. This complex includes the polymerase and proofreading subunits, the processivity clamp and clamp loader complex.
