Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta) is an error-prone enzyme which has been found to be overexpressed in several human tumors. By using a couple of recombinant CHO cells differing only from the exogenous expression of Pol beta, we showed here that cells overexpressing Pol beta are much more sensitive to IR treatments by increasing apoptosis. We also found that the surviving cells displayed an hypermutator phenotype...
