Differentiate between the 3 DNA pols of E. coli (prokaryotic) and the three types of DNA pols in eukaryotes. Be detailed about how they initiate replication, how they carry out it, what is the error rate, and any other differences they might have. Which ones are used in the lab?

DNA polymerase in e.coli that is prokaryotes are DNA polymerase 1,2,3 . Where as in eukaryotes alpha,beta and gamma .

During replication of prokaryotes DNA polymerase 3 is used .where as in eukaryotes the alpha and delta is used.DNA polymerase 3 will attach to the DNA and initiate and undergoes replication with the help of primers.where as alpha polymerase helps in intiation of replication and lagging strand synthesis and leading strand synthesis takes place by Delta polymerase. Where alpha donot contain proof reading activity also which is carried by delta unit .The three DNA polymerase in prokaryotes have proof reading activity.Where DNA polymerase 1 helps in removal of RNA in after the replication and fill the nucleotide in that region ,whereas in eukaryotes it is carried by RNase enzyme.where DNA polymerase 2 helps in repairing the errors majorly caused during replication where as beta is used in this case.

The prokaryotes contains single chromosome with one origin so that there is high chance of replication error because the DNA polymerase is capable of adding upto 1000 base pairs at a time in replication .where as in eukaryotes they contain many chromosomes many origins .so there is a less chance of error.

The DNA pol 3 is used in lab for prokaryotes where as alpha and delta in eukaryotes .

1. Why does E. coli need both DNA polymerase III and DNA polymerase I? a. The DNA replication is bidirectional; one polymerase is used for each direction. b. Each polymerase is specific for only one strand of DNA. DNA polymerase III acts only on the leading strand, and DNA polymerase I acts only on the lagging strand. c. Only DNA polymerase I has proofreading ability. d. DNA polymerase III lacks the 5' → 3' exonuclease activity needed to remove RNA...
