Primary structure of the catalytic subunit of human DNA polymerase. delta. and chromosomal location of the gene
Abstract
The catalytic subunit of human DNA polymerase {delta} has been cloned by PCR using poly (A){sup +}RNA from HepG2 cells and primers designed from the amino acid sequence of regions highly conserved between bovine and yeast DNA polymerase {delta}. The human cDNA was 3,443 nucleotides in length and coded for a polypeptide of 1,107 amino acids. The enzyme was 94% identical to bovine DNA polymerase {delta} and contained the numerous highly conserved regions previously observed in the bovine and yeast enzymes. The human enzyme also contained two putative zinc-finger domains in the carboxyl end of the molecule, as well as a putative nuclear localization signal at the amino-terminal end. The gene coding for human DNA polymerase {delta} was localized to chromosome 19.
