Abstract excerpt
Pol iota is a member of the Y-family DNA polymerases, characterized by their capacity for translesion DNA synthesis and low fidelity base incorporation, and has therefore been assumed to play important roles in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. In fact, the mouse Pol iota gene is located within the Par2 (pulmonary adenoma resistance 2) locus on distal chromosome 18, which we have identified as a major...
