DNA 复制:以现有的 DNA 链作为模板,从 5' 端向 3' 端方向合成一条与之互补的新链。需要注意的是,该酶无法直接启动新链的合成,必须依靠引物(通常是 RNA 引物)提供 3'-OH 末端。
校对功能:部分 DNA 聚合酶具备 3'→5' 外切酶活性。在 DNA 合成过程中,若出现碱基错配的情况,它能够切除错误的核苷酸,从而显著提高 DNA 复制的准确性。
DNA 修复:参与多种 DNA 修复机制,例如碱基切除修复、核苷酸切除修复等,对受损的 DNA 分子进行修复。
原核生物(以大肠杆菌为例):
DNA 聚合酶 III(Pol III):是 DNA 复制的主要酶,负责催化新链的延伸。
DNA 聚合酶 I(Pol I):主要作用是切除 RNA 引物,并填补 DNA 链中的缺口。
DNA 聚合酶 II(Pol II):在 DNA 损伤修复过程中发挥作用。
真核生物:
Pol α(引发酶 - 聚合酶复合体):参与 DNA 复制的起始阶段,负责合成 RNA - DNA 引物。
Pol δ 和 Pol ε:是主要的复制酶,其中 Pol δ 负责合成滞后链,Pol ε 负责合成前导链。
Pol γ:在线粒体 DNA 的复制和修复中起作用。
Pol β 等:参与 DNA 的碱基切除修复。
PCR 技术:像 Taq DNA 聚合酶(源自 Thermus aquaticus )这类耐热聚合酶,是聚合酶链式反应(PCR)的核心组成部分,广泛应用于基因扩增领域。
分子克隆与基因工程:用于 DNA 片段的合成、测序以及载体构建等操作。
医学与生物学研究:可用于研究 DNA 复制机制、遗传疾病以及开发抗病毒药物(例如针对逆转录酶的抑制剂)等。
DNA Replication:It synthesizes a complementary DNA strand in the 5'→3' direction using an existing DNA strand as a template. Notably, it cannot initiate strand synthesis de novo and requires a primer (usually an RNA primer) to provide a 3'-OH end.
Proofreading:Some DNA polymerases possess 3'→5' exonuclease activity. During DNA synthesis, they can excise mispaired nucleotides, significantly enhancing the fidelity of DNA replication.
DNA Repair:It participates in various DNA repair mechanisms, such as base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair, to mend damaged DNA molecules.
Prokaryotes (e.g., E. coli):
DNA Polymerase III (Pol III):It is the main replicative enzyme responsible for chain elongation during DNA replication.
DNA Polymerase I (Pol I):Its main roles are to remove RNA primers and fill gaps in DNA strands.
DNA Polymerase II (Pol II):It is involved in DNA damage repair.
Eukaryotes:
Pol α (Primase - Polymerase Complex):It participates in the initiation of DNA replication by synthesizing RNA-DNA primers.
Pol δ and Pol ε:They are the primary replicative enzymes, with Pol δ synthesizing the lagging strand and Pol ε synthesizing the leading strand.
Pol γ:It is responsible for mitochondrial DNA replication and repair.
Pol β, etc.:They are involved in base excision repair of DNA.
PCR Technology:Heat - stable polymerases like Taq DNA polymerase (from Thermus aquaticus) are core components of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), widely used for gene amplification.
Molecular Cloning and Genetic Engineering:It is used for DNA fragment synthesis, sequencing, and vector construction.
Medical and Biological Research:It is used to study DNA replication mechanisms, genetic diseases, and develop antiviral drugs (e.g., inhibitors targeting reverse transcriptase).
