Abstract
There are three DNA polymerases in yeast which are essential for cell proliferation. Whereas DNA polymerase α (POL1) might be involved in the initiation of nuclear DNA replication (Pizzagalli et al., 1988), the specific functions of DNA polymerase ε (POL2) (Morrison et al., 1990) and DNA polymerase δ (POL3) (Boulet et al., 1989) during the S phase, are not clearly established. Moreover, it is not known whether these DNA polymerases are implicated into other processes such as DNA reparation or recombination.
