Abstract excerpt
DNA lesions that arise during normal cellular metabolism can block the progress of replicative DNA polymerases, leading to cell cycle arrest and, in higher eukaryotes, apoptosis. Alternatively, such blocking lesions can be temporarily tolerated using either a recombination- or a translesion synthesis-based bypass mechanism. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, members of the RAD6 epistasis group are key players in the...
