Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase theta (Pol theta) is a recently identified family A polymerase that contains an intrinsic helicase domain. Drosophila Pol theta mutants are hypersensitive to bifunctional DNA crosslinking agents and exhibit an elevated frequency of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations, suggesting a role for Pol theta in repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks and in the general maintenance of genome stability. To...
