Sugaya, Y, Ihara, K, Masuda, Y, Ohtsubo, E and Maki, H (2002) Hyper-processive and slower DNA chain elongation catalysed by DNA polymerase III holoenzyme purified from the dnaE173 mutator mutant of Escherichia coli. Genes Cells 7:385-99

Abstract

A strong mutator mutation, dnaE173, leads to a Glu612 --> Lys amino acid change in the alpha subunit of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III (PolIII) holoenzyme and abolishes the proofreading function of the replicative enzyme without affecting the 3' --> 5' exonuclease activity of the epsilon subunit. The dnaE173 mutator is unique in its ability to induce sequence-substitution mutations, suggesting that an unknown function of the alpha subunit is hampered by the dnaE173 mutation.
