Viral DNA Polymerase Catalytic Subunit

Molecular classification
Enzyme, Polymerase
01

Overview

The viral DNA polymerase catalytic subunit is a core enzyme responsible for the replication of viral genomic DNA. It is essential for the synthesis of new viral genomes during infection and plays a central role in the assembly and function of the viral replication complex. It catalyzes the synthesis of DNA from deoxyribonucleotides, using an existing strand as a template and possesses 3'-5' exonuclease activity, providing proofreading capability. In some viruses, it includes intrinsic ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity.
