Abstract excerpt
To overcome DNA lesions that block replication the cell employs translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) polymerases, a group of low fidelity DNA polymerases that have the capacity to bypass a wide range of DNA lesions. This TLS process is also termed error-prone repair, due to its inherent mutagenic natu...
