A bacteriophage split DNA polymerase incorporates a sliding clamp-derived processivity subunit
Viruses that infect bacteria, termed bacteriophages or phages, typically encode their own DNA replication machinery that rapidly generates many copies of the phage genomic DNA in an infected cell. Nucleus-forming phages of the chimallivirus family possess a distinctive repertoire of predicted DNA replication proteins, with two proteins annotated as DNA polymerases plus a DnaB-like replicative…
