Overexpression of human DNA polymerase (Pol ) in a Burkitt's lymphoma cell line affects the somatic hypermutation rate
28 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase mu (Pol mu) is a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase closely related to terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), and prone to induce template/primer misalignments and misincorporation. In addition to a proposed general role in non-homologous end joining of double-strand breaks, its mutagenic potential and preferential expression in secondary lymphoid tissues support a role in somatic hypermutation...
