Collision with duplex DNA renders Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme susceptible to DNA polymerase IV-mediated polymerase switching on the sliding clamp

Abstract Organisms possess multiple DNA polymerases (Pols) and use each for a different purpose. One of the five Pols in Escherichia coli, DNA polymerase IV (Pol IV), encoded by the dinB gene, is known to participate in lesion bypass at certain DNA adducts. To understand how cells choose Pols when t...
