The crystal structure of the catalytic alpha-subunit of the DNA polymerase III (Pol IIIalpha) holoenzyme bound to primer-template DNA and an incoming deoxy-nucleoside 5'-triphosphate has been determined at 4.6-A resolution. The polymerase interacts with the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA across its minor groove, which is made possible by significant movements of the thumb, finger, and beta-binding domains relative to their orientations in the unliganded polymerase structure ...
