ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed toward the 5 previously unknown genes, for subunits δ, δ′, χ, θ, and ψ, of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, and toward a unique man-made enzyme containing 5, preferably 6, protein subunits which shows the same activity as the naturally occurring 10 protein subunit DNA polymerase III holoenzyme.
