Response of human DNA polymerase iota to DNA lesions
15 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Lesion bypass is an important mechanism to overcome replication blockage by DNA damage. Translesion synthesis requires a DNA polymerase (Pol). Human Pol iota encoded by the RAD30B gene is a recently identified DNA polymerase that shares sequence similarity to Pol eta. To investigate whether human Pol iota plays a role in lesion bypass we examined the response of this polymerase to several types of DNA damage in...
