dnaQ

dnaQ
DNA polymerase III
subunit epsilon
Identifiers
Symbol dnaB
Entrez 946441
UniProt P03007
Other data
EC number 2.7.7.7

dnaQ is a protein required for DNA replication in bacteria. It is the ε (epsilon) subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme.[1]

The ε subunit's role is to remove misincorporated bases from DNA.
