Figure 1. Structure of Pol γ
(A) Structure of Pol γA. The pol domain shows a canonical “right-hand” configuration with thumb (green), palm (red), and fingers (blue) subdomains and the exo domain (gray). The spacer domain (orange) presents a unique structure and is divided into two subdomains. Domains are shown in a linear form where the N-terminal domain contains residues 1–170; exo, 171–440; spacer, 476–785; and pol, 441–475 and 786–1239. All figures are made with Pymol (DeLano, 2002).
(B and C) Structure of the heterotrimeric Pol γ holoenzyme containing one catalytic subunit Pol γA (orange) and the proximal (green) and distal (blue) monomers of Pol γB. Pol γA primarily interacts with the proximal monomer of the dimeric Pol γB.
