A novel mechanism for controlling the proofreading and polymerase activities of archaeal DNA polymerases was studied. The 3'-5'exonuclease (proofreading) activity and PCR performance of the family B DNA polymerase from Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 (previously Pyrococcus kodakaraensis KOD1) were altered efficiently by mutation of a "unique loop" in the exonuclease domain ...
