Proposed Structural Preferences of Mammalian Pol X Family Polymerases on Mismatched DNA Ends
DNA ends with 3′ overhangs and varying lengths of alignment between the ends are shown as an example. Ends containing extensive homology (A), limited homology of 1 to 2 bp (B), no homology (C), or a single double-stranded end (D) are shown schematically with the proposed polymerase specificities shown at right. The direction of polymerization is indicated with red arrows. Template-dependent synthesis without alignment is suggested to be the activity unique to pol μ; in this case the 3′ overhang sequences are incompatible (see main text).
