A simple method for in-house Pfu DNA polymerase purification for high-fidelity PCR amplification
Background and Objectives: Pfu DNA polymerase is an enzyme that exhibits the lowest error rate in the 3´ to 5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity during DNA synthesis in Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCRs).

Simultaneous Disruption of Two DNA Polymerases, Pol eta and Pol zeta, in Avian DT40 Cells Unmasks the Role of Pol eta in Cellular Response to Various DNA Lesions [PDF]
Replicative DNA polymerases are frequently stalled by DNA lesions. The resulting replication blockage is released by homologous recombination (HR) and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS employs specialized TLS polymerases to bypass DNA lesions.

Proofreading deficiency of Pol I increases the levels of spontaneous rpoB mutations in E. coli [PDF]
The fidelity role of DNA polymerase I in chromosomal DNA replication in E. coli was investigated using the rpoB forward target. These experiments indicated that in a strain carrying a proofreading-exonuclease-defective form of Pol I (polAexo mutant) the ...

Organisms possess multiple DNA polymerases (Pols) and use each for a different purpose. One of the five Pols in Escherichia coli, DNA polymerase IV (Pol IV), encoded by the dinB gene, is known to participate in lesion bypass at certain DNA adducts.

Bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase — Sequenase
An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: 1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; 2) high processivity; 3) high ...

Fidelity of DNA polymerases in the detection of intraindividual variation of mitochondrial DNA
Here we investigated the consequences of PCR amplification errors in the identification of intraindividual mtDNA variation. The bumblebee Bombus morio was chosen as model for the COI gene amplification tests with two DNA polymerases (Taq and Q5 ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
