Which is the most processive of prokaryotic DNA polymerases?(a) pol I(b) pol II(c) pol III(d) klenow fragmentI got this question during an interview.I'd like to ask this question from DNA Replication Prokaryotes in division DNA Replication of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) pol III

To elaborate: DNA pol III holoenzyme has a PROCESSIVITY of >500,000 which is highest among PROKARYOTIC polymerases. Pol I,II and Klenow fragment has no beta clamp resulting in their LESSER processivity.
