What are the roles of DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase alpha in replication?
What are their equivalents in bacteria?
Solution
DNA polymerases are enzymes that synthesize DNA molecule from deoxyribonucleotides, the
building blocks of DNA. There are variety of DNA polymerases like DNA pol delta, DNA pol
alpha and DNA pol Epsilon in eukaryotes.
Role of DNA polymerase Delta: It is an enzyme complex found in eukaryotes that is involved in
DNA replication and repair. DNA Pol is an enzyme used for both leading and lagging strand
synthesis. It exhibits increased processivity when interacting with a proliferating cell nuclear
antigen (PCNA). DNA Pol occupies a central role in all of these processes: catalysing the
accurate replication of majority of the genome, participating in several DNA repair synthetic
pathways, and contributing structurally to the accurate bypass of problematic lesions during
translesion synthesis.
In bacteria like E.Coli, the DNA polymerase III is equivalent to DNA polymerase delta of
eukaryotes.
Role of DNA polymerase alpha: DNA Pol is an enzyme complex found in eukaryotes that is
involved in initiation of DNA replication. This enzyme is responsible for initiation of DNA
replication at origins of replications and during synthesis of Okazaki fragments on the lagging
strand.
The E.Coli DNA polymerase II is homologous to DNA polymerase alpha of eukaryotes.
