The absence of polar and aromatic steric filter in PolIV results in a drastic reduction in sugar selectivity. (A) Primer extension assays showed that the mutant version of PolIV without the steric and polar filter exhibits a 50-fold enhancement in rCTP incorporation. The error bars indicate standard deviation (n = 3). (B) Primer extension assays showed that the absence of the steric and polar filters did not affect the ability of PolIV to incorporate dCTP. The error bars indicate standard deviation (n = 3). (C) The PolIV-F13A+T43CDNA(dG):rCTP (peach) structure superimposed with PolIV-F13A+T43CDNA(dG):dCTP (violet) structure with an RMSD of 0.26 Å. The position and conformation of the dCTP and rCTP in the two structures are identical.
