Eukaryotic DNA replication.
The past decade has witnessed an exciting evolution in our understanding of eukaryotic DNA replication at the molecular level. Progress has been particularly rapid within the last few years due to the convergence of research on a variety of cell types, from yeast to human, encompassing disciplines ranging from clinical immunology to the molecular biology of viruses. New eukaryotic DNA replicases and accessory proteins have been purified and characterized, and some have been cloned and sequenced. In vitro systems for the replication of viral DNA have been developed, allowing the identification and purification of several mammalian replication proteins. In this review we focus on DNA polymerases alpha and delta and the polymerase accessory proteins, their physical and functional properties, as well as their roles in eukaryotic DNA replication.
