= DNA polymerase epsilon
{c}
A <eukaryotic> replicative polymerase with a predominant leading-strand role during conventional nuclear replication.
Its synthesis is coordinated with the <CMG helicase> and accessory factors at the <replication fork>. A leading-strand preference describes the usual <division of labour>, while repair, altered forks and experimental perturbations can recruit different activities. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 5, DNA Replication Mechanisms]{ref}
