| Description: | |
| Interpro abstract (IPR001098): | Synonym(s): DNA nucleotidyltransferase (DNA-directed) DNA-directed DNA polymerases(EC 2.7.7.7) are the key enzymes catalysing the accurate replication of DNA. They require either a small RNA molecule or a protein as a primer for the de novo synthesis of a DNA chain. A number of polymerases belong to this family [(PUBMED:2196557), (PUBMED:1870963), (PUBMED:8451181)]. |
| GO process: | DNA replication (GO:0006260) |
| GO function: | DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity (GO:0003887), DNA binding (GO:0003677) |
| Family alignment: |

- Display abstract
The 3.3-A resolution crystal structure of the large proteolytic fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I complexed with deoxythymidine monophosphate consists of two domains, the smaller of which binds zinc-deoxythymidine monophosphate. The most striking feature of the larger domain is a deep crevice of the appropriate size and shape for binding double-stranded B-DNA. A flexible subdomain may allow the enzyme to surround completely the DNA substrate, thereby allowing processive nucleotide polymerization without enzyme dissociation.
