Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase lambda (pollambda) is a recently identified DNA polymerase whose cellular function remains elusive. Here we show, that pollambda participates at the molecular level in a chromosomal context, in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSB) via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) in mammalian cells. The expression of a catalytically inactive form of pollambda (pollambdaDN) decreases the frequency of...
