Abstract excerpt
Cellular functions of the REV1 gene have been conserved in evolution and appear important for maintaining genetic integrity through translesion DNA synthesis. This study documents a novel biochemical activity of human REV1 protein, due to higher affinity for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) than the primer terminus. Preferential binding to long ssDNA regions of the template strand means that REV1 is targeted...
