Abstract excerpt
The majority of DNA damage-induced mutagenesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae arises as a result of translesion replication. This process is critically dependent on the deoxycytidyl transferase Rev1p, which forms a complex with the subunits of DNA polymerase zeta, Rev3p and Rev7p. To examine the role of Rev1 in vertebrate mutagenesis and the DNA damage response, we disrupted the gene in DT40 cells....
