We previously demonstrated that a recombinant herpes simplex virus containing a mutation within the finger domain of DNA polymerase replicated DNA with increased fidelity. In this study, we demonstrate that, compared with wild-type polymerase, the mutant enzyme exhibited improved nucleotide selectivity and a reduced ability to extend from mismatched primer termini, which would contribute to the increased DNA replication fidelity.
我们之前证明,一种在DNA聚合酶指状结构域内含有突变的重组单纯疱疹病毒能够以更高的保真度复制DNA。在本研究中,我们证明,与野生型聚合酶相比,突变酶表现出改善的核苷酸选择性以及从错配引物末端延伸的能力降低,这将有助于提高DNA复制保真度。
