Description
Biochem/physiol Actions DNA polymerase I （holoenzyme） has 5′→3′ and 3′→5′ exonuclease activities in addition to its synthetic activity. This bifunctional activity enables the enzyme to use nicks or gaps in double stranded DNA as starting points for DNA synthesis. The 5′→3′ exonuclease activity degrades the DNA strand complementary to the template strand beginning at the nick. DNA synthesis begins at the 3′-end of the nick and produces a new strand of DNA complementary to the template. The net result is the movement of the polymerase along the template strand （nick translation） until all the DNA complementary to the template （from the site of the original nick to the 5′-end of the template strand） is replaced. The enzyme is used with radioactive or biotinylated nucleotides to prepare labeled DNA of high specific activity.
DNA polymerase I has also been reported to catalyze de novo DNA synthesis.
