Recent advances reveal new eukaryotic DNA replicases and accessory proteins crucial for DNA replication. This review details DNA polymerases alpha and delta and their accessory proteins in eukaryotic DNA replication.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Eukaryotic DNA replication understanding has rapidly evolved over the past decade.
  • Research convergence across cell types (yeast to human) and disciplines (immunology to virology) accelerated progress.
  • New eukaryotic DNA replicases and accessory proteins have been identified, purified, cloned, and sequenced.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of eukaryotic DNA replication at the molecular level.
  • To focus on DNA polymerases alpha and delta and their accessory proteins.
  • To elucidate the physical and functional properties and roles of these proteins in replication.

Main Methods:

  • Purification and characterization of eukaryotic DNA replicases and accessory proteins.
