Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD30 gene encodes DNA polymerase eta. Humans possess two Rad30 homologs. One (RAD30A/POLH) has previously been characterized and shown to be defective in humans with the Xeroderma pigmentosum variant phenotype. Here, we report experiments demonstrating that the second human homolog (RAD30B), also encodes a novel DNA polymerase that we designate poliota. poliota, is a distributive...
