All archaeal DNA-dependent DNA polymerases sequenced to date are homologous to
family B DNA polymerases from eukaryotes and eubacteria. Presently, representatives of the …

A widespread and highly conserved family of apparently inactivated derivatives of archaeal
B-family DNA polymerases is described. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the inactivated …

Eukaryotes and archaea both possess multiple genes coding for family B DNA polymerases.
In animals and fungi, three family B DNA polymerases, alpha, delta, and epsilon, are …

Three family B DNA polymerase genes, designated B1, B2, and B3, were cloned from the
thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis, and sequenced. Deduced …

In order to extend the limited knowledge about crenarchaeal DNA polymerases, we cloned a
gene encoding a family B DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon …

The gene encoding the thermostable DNA polymerase from the archaeon Sulfolobus
solfataricus (strain MT 4) was isolated by means of two degenerate oligonucleotide probes …

Recently, the nucleotide sequence of a DNA polymerase gene from Sulfolobus solfatanicus
was reported (1). The enzyme is a 100 kDa polypeptide also possessing a 3'-5'exonuclease …

Abstract B-family DNA-directed DNA polymerases are DNA replication enzymes found in
Eukaryota, Archaea, large DNA viruses, and in some, but not all, bacteria. Several …

Since their initial characterization over 30 years ago, it has been believed that the archaeal
B-family DNA polymerases are single-subunit enzymes. This contrasts with the multi-subunit …

ABSTRACT DNA polymerase activities in fractionated cell extract of Aeropyrum pernix, a
hyperthermophilic crenarchaeote, were investigated. Aphidicolin-sensitive (fraction I) and …
