Abstract
The 2.8 A resolution crystal structure of the bacteriophage RB69 gp43, a member of the eukaryotic pol alpha family of replicative DNA polymerases, shares some similarities with other polymerases but shows many differences. Although its palm domain has the same topology as other polymerases, except rat DNA polymerase beta, one of the three carboxylates required for nucleotidyl transfer is located on a different beta strand. The structures of the fingers and thumb domains are unrelated to all other known polymerase structures. The editing 3'-5' exonuclease domain of gp43 is homologous to that of E. coli DNA polymerase I but lies on the opposite side of the polymerase active site. An extended structure-based alignment of eukaryotic DNA polymerase sequences provides structural insights that should be applicable to most eukaryotic DNA polymerases.

Figure 1. Stereo Representation of a Portion of Two Electron-Density MapsThe experimental (blue at 1.5σ) and 2F[o]-F[c] (pink at 1.25σ) densities of RB69 gp43 at 2.8 Å resolution are superimposed on the refined model in the region around D621 in the polymerase catalytic site.

Figure 8. Solvent-Accessible Contact-Surface Representation of a Hypothetical Model for the Replication ComplexIncluded in the model are gp32, gp43, gp45, and a model-built DNA primer template bound with its 3′ terminus in the exonuclease active site. The protein coordinates used were from the crystal structures of T4 gp32 core ([62]), the β subunit of E. coli DNA polymerase III ( [39]), and RB69 gp43. The locations of the various domains and clefts are indicated by arrows.
