Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase theta (Poltheta) is a family A polymerase that contains an intrinsic helicase domain. To investigate the function of Poltheta in mammalian cells, we have inactivated its polymerase activity in CH12 mouse B lymphoma cells by targeted deletion of the polymerase core domain that contains the catalytic aspartic acid residue. Compared to parental CH12 cells, mutant cells devoid of Poltheta polymerase...
