In 1987 American Can announced that it would change its 86-year-old name to "Primerica". In 1988, Pechiney S.A., the French metal conglomerate, acquired Triangle Industries. At the time of the buyout, American National Can was the largest can company in the United States. Rexam acquired American National Can's metal can business in 2000.
DNA polymerase I (or Pol I) is an enzyme that participates in the process of prokaryotic DNA replication. Discovered by Arthur Kornberg in 1956, [1] it was the first known DNA polymerase (and the first known of any kind of polymerase ). It was initially characterized in E. coli and is ubiquitous in prokaryotes.
DNA polymerase alpha also known as Pol α is an enzyme complex found in eukaryotes that is involved in initiation of DNA replication. The DNA polymerase alpha complex consists of 4 subunits: POLA1, POLA2, PRIM1, and PRIM2. [2] Pol α has limited processivity and lacks 3′ exonuclease activity for proofreading errors.
Jan-Harm Pol was born on September 4, 1942, in Wateren, Drenthe, in the Netherlands. Pol grew up on his family's dairy farm. [2] Pol met his wife, Diane Dalrymple, when he was a foreign exchange student at Mayville High School in 1961. In 1970, Pol graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine at Utrecht University.
DNA polymerase II (also known as DNA Pol II or Pol II) is a prokaryotic DNA-dependent DNA polymerase encoded by the PolB gene. [1] DNA Polymerase II is an 89.9-kDa protein and is a member of the B family of DNA polymerases. It was originally isolated by Thomas Kornberg in 1970, and characterized over the next few years.
Function. In eukaryotic cells, DNA polymerase beta (POLB) performs base excision repair (BER) required for DNA maintenance, replication, recombination, and drug resistance. [4] The mitochondrial DNA of mammalian cells is constantly under attack from oxygen radicals released during ATP production.
RNA polymerase I. RNA polymerase 1 (also known as Pol I) is, in higher eukaryotes, the polymerase that only transcribes ribosomal RNA (but not 5S rRNA, which is synthesized by RNA polymerase III ), a type of RNA that accounts for over 50% of the total RNA synthesized in a cell. [1]
