Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta functions in both base excision repair and meiosis. Errors committed by polymerase beta during these processes could result in mutations. Using a complementation system, in which rat DNA polymerase beta substitutes for DNA polymerase I of Escherichia coli, we previously isolated a DNA polymerase beta mutant in which Tyr-265 was altered to Cys (Y265C). The Y265C mutant is dominant to wild-type...
