The essential role of the 3' terminal template base in the first steps of protein-primed DNA replication.
Bacteriophages ϕ29 and Nf from Bacillus subtilis start replication of their linear genomes at both ends using a protein-primed mechanism by means of which the DNA polymerase initiates replication by adding dAMP to the terminal protein, this insertion being directed by the second and third 3' te...
