Genetic recombination in Escherichia coli is a highly regulated process involving multiple gene products. We have investigated the role of DNA polymerase I in this process by studying the effect of the po1A1 mutation upon DNA transfer and conjugation in otherwise isogenic suppressor-free strains of E. coli K-12. It was found that the po1A1 mutation greatly reduces recombination in Hfr crosses (a factor of 20 in Po1+ × Po1A1 crosses and more than a factor of 100 in Po1A1 × Po1A1 crosses). However, since the po1A1 mutation reduces the strains capacity to act as a recipient for an F-prime and the analysis of recombination transfer gradients revealed no differences between Po1+ and Po1− strains, it is concluded that DNA polymerase I probably affects the transfer and/or stability of donor DNA rather than the recombinational process itself.

The human RAD30B gene has recently been shown to encode a novel DNA polymerase, DNA polymerase i (poli). The role of poli within the cell is presently unknown, and the only clues to its cellular function come from its biochemical characterization in vitro. The aim of this short review is, therefore, to summarize the known enzymic activities of poli and to speculate as to how these biochemical properties might relate to its in vivo function.
