Question
Diagram the proofreading process used by E. coli DNA polymerases.
Step 1
coli DNA polymerases begin the DNA synthesis process by binding to a single-stranded DNA template and synthesizing a new complementary strand in the 5' to 3' direction. Show more…

E. coli polymerases I, II, and III have 3' to 5' activity, which provides them with a proofreading function, i.e. they can remove a mispaired base.
Which of the DNA polymerases shown in Table 12.3 have the ability to proofread?
Repair mechanisms that occur during DNA replication are 1. mismatch repair. 2. proofreading by DNA polymerase. 3. light repair. 4. SOS repair. 5. excision repair. a) 1,2 b) 2,3 c) 3,4 d) 4,5 e) 1,5
