We investigated the mutator effect resulting from overproduction of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase IV. Using lac mutational targets in the two possible orientations on the chromosome, we observed preferential mutagenesis during lagging strand synthesis. The mutator activity likely results from extension of mismatches produced by polymerase III holoenzyme.
我们研究了大肠杆菌DNA聚合酶IV过量产生所导致的诱变效应。利用染色体上两种可能方向的乳糖突变靶点,我们观察到在滞后链合成过程中存在优先诱变现象。这种诱变活性可能是由聚合酶III全酶产生的错配延伸所致。
