  2. DNA polymerase epsilon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_epsilon

    DNA polymerase epsilon is a member of the DNA polymerase family of enzymes found in eukaryotes. It is composed of the following four subunits: POLE (central catalytic unit), POLE2 (subunit 2), POLE3 (subunit 3), and POLE4 (subunit 4). Recent evidence suggests that it plays a major role in leading strand DNA synthesis and nucleotide and base ...

  3. DNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase

    A DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in groups to create two identical DNA duplexes from a single original DNA duplex. During this process, DNA polymerase ...

  4. DNA polymerase delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_delta

    DNA polymerase delta (DNA Pol δ) is an enzyme complex found in eukaryotes that is involved in DNA replication and repair. The DNA polymerase delta complex consists of 4 subunits: POLD1, POLD2, POLD3, and POLD4. [1] DNA Pol δ is an enzyme used for both leading and lagging strand synthesis. [2][3] It exhibits increased processivity when ...

  5. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferating_cell_nuclear...

    Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a DNA clamp that acts as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase δ in eukaryotic cells and is essential for replication. PCNA is a homotrimer and achieves its processivity by encircling the DNA, where it acts as a scaffold to recruit proteins involved in DNA replication, DNA repair, chromatin ...

  6. Replisome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replisome

    RFC deposits the sliding clamp and attracts DNA polymerases such as alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε). For both bacteria and eukaryotes, the next stage is generally referred to as 'elongation', and it is during this phase that the majority of DNA synthesis occurs.

  7. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_III_holoenzyme

    This is the old textbook "trombone model" with two units of Pol III. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is the primary enzyme complex involved in prokaryotic DNA replication. It was discovered by Thomas Kornberg (son of Arthur Kornberg) and Malcolm Gefter in 1970. The complex has high processivity (i.e. the number of nucleotides added per binding ...

  8. POLD1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POLD1

    POLD1. DNA polymerase delta catalytic subunit (DPOD1) is an enzyme that is encoded in the human by the POLD1 gene, in the DNA polymerase delta complex. [5][6][7] DPOD1 is responsible for synthesizing the lagging strand of DNA, and has also been implicated in some activities at the leading strand (Figure 1). The DPOD1 subunit encodes both DNA ...

  9. DNA polymerase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_polymerase_II

    DNA Polymerase II. (str. K-12 substr. MG1655) DNA polymerase II (also known as DNA Pol II or Pol II) is a prokaryotic DNA-dependent DNA polymerase encoded by the PolB gene. [1] DNA Polymerase II is an 89.9-kDa protein and is a member of the B family of DNA polymerases. It was originally isolated by Thomas Kornberg in 1970, and characterized ...
