Abstract excerpt
DNA lesions that escape excision repair pathways can cause arrested DNA replication. This replication block can be processed by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), which is carried out by a number of specialized DNA polymerases. A sequential lesion bypass model has been proposed; one of the lesion-specific polymerases inserts nucleotide(s) opposite the damaged template, followed by extension from the inserted...
