#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

1. DNA polymerase I is a single polypeptide of 103 kD. 

2. The chain can be cleaved into two parts by proteolytic treatment. The larger cleavage product (68 kD) is called the Klenow fragment. It is used in synthetic reactions in vitro. 

3. It contains the polymerase and the proofreading 3’–5’ exonuclease activities.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

1. The small fragment (35 kD) possesses a 5’– 3’ exonucleolytic activity, which excises small groups of nucleotides, up to 10 bases at a time.

2. This activity is coordinated with the synthetic/ proofreading activity. 

3. It provides DNA polymerase I with a unique ability to start replication in vitro at a nick in DNA.
