Bacteriophage PRD1 DNA polymerase: evolution of DNA polymerases. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1987 A small lipid-containing bacteriophage PRD1 specifies its own DNA polymerase that utilizes terminal protein as a primer for DNA synthesis. The PRD1 DNA polymerase gene has been sequenced, and its amino acid sequence has been deduced. This protein-primed DNA polymerase consists of 553 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 63,300 ...

Genes and Environment, 2022 Urea (Ua) is produced in DNA as the result of oxidative damage to thymine and guanine. It was previously reported that Klenow fragment (Kf) exo− incorporated dATP opposite Ua, and that DNA polymerase β was blocked by Ua.

Cyclocytidine hydrochloride inhibits the synthesis of relaxed circular DNA of hepatitis B virus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Cyclocytidine hydrochloride (HCl) has been reported to inhibit DNA synthesis by affecting DNA polymerase. Here, we tested the antiviral effect of cyclocytidine on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA synthesis, which is reliant on DNA polymerase ...

Mismatch repair in recombination of bacteriophage T4
Biomolecular Concepts, 2012 The review focuses on the mechanism of mismatch repair in bacteriophage T4. It was first observed in T4 as an extra recombination mechanism, which contributed to the general recombination only when particular rII mutations were used as genetic markers ...

DNA polymerases and cancer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2011 There are 15 different DNA polymerases encoded in mammalian genomes, which are specialized for replication, repair or the tolerance of DNA damage. New evidence is emerging for lesion-specific and tissue-specific functions of DNA polymerases. Many point mutations that occur in cancer cells arise from the error-generating activities of DNA polymerases ...

Human DNA polymerase θ grasps the primer terminus to mediate DNA repair
Nature Structural &Molecular Biology, 2015 DNA polymerase θ protects against genomic instability via an alternative end-joining repair pathway for DNA double-strand breaks. Polymerase θ is overexpressed in breast, lung and oral cancers, and reduction of its activity in mammalian cells increases ...

Promutagenicity of 8-Chloroguanine, A Major Inflammation-Induced Halogenated DNA Lesion
Molecules, 2019 Chronic inflammation is closely associated with cancer development. One possible mechanism for inflammation-induced carcinogenesis is DNA damage caused by reactive halogen species, such as hypochlorous acid, which is released by myeloperoxidase to kill ...

A nuclear family A DNA polymerase from Entamoeba histolytica bypasses thymine glycol. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic family A DNA polymerases are involved in mitochondrial DNA replication or translesion DNA synthesis. Here, we present evidence that the sole family A DNA polymerase from the parasite protozoan E.

DNA Polymerase Profiling [PDF]
, 2008 We report a simple homogeneous fluorescence assay for quantification of DNA polymerase function in high throughput. The fluorescence signal is generated by the DNA polymerase triggering opening of a molecular beacon extension of the template strand. A resulting distance alteration is reported by fluorescence resonance energy transfer between two dyes ...
