Abstract
Two recent studies provide structural insights into how human DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε) interacts with PCNA to form a processive holoenzyme on the leading strand. A series of cryo-EM images offer structural information on the proofreading process, showing how DNA is transferred between the polymerase and exonuclease sites in human Pol ε.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
