Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) carries out base-excision repair (BER) required for DNA maintenance, replication, and recombination in eukaryotic cells. A variant characterized by a deletion of exon 11, an 87-bp region in the catalytic domain (pol betadelta208-236), was previously described as a possible cause of genomic instability in cancer. The variant form was hypothesized to act in a dominant negative...
