Involvement of Vertebrate Polκ in Rad18-independent Postreplication Repair of UV Damage

Abstract excerpt

DNA damage, which is left unrepaired by excision repair pathways, often blocks replication, leading to lesions such as breaks and gaps on the sister chromatids. These lesions may be processed by either homologous recombination (HR) repair or translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). Vertebrate Polkappa belongs to the DNA polymerase Y family, as do most TLS polymerases. However, the role for Polkappa in vertebrate cells is...
