DNA polymerase II

A membrane associated DNA polymerizing enzyme has been solubilized, partially isolated and characterized

The DNA replicating capacity of isolated E. coli cell wall-membrane complexes

The only DNA synthesizing activity left in a bacterial mutant lacking DNA polymerase is associated with the cell membrane

Properties of the isolated gene 5 protein of bacteriophage fd

Gene 5 protein of bacteriophage fd was purified from phage infected bacteria. The protein binds to single-stranded DNA but not to double-stranded DNA. The protein inhibits the bacterial exonucleases and, at high concentrations, the cellular DNA polymerases I and II. Gene 5 protein, at low concentrations, increases the template activity of a viral replicative form DNA for polymerase II
