Upregulation of Error-Prone DNA Polymerases Beta and Kappa Slows Down Fork Progression Without Activating the Replication Checkpoint
15 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
There is rising evidence that cancer development is associated from its earliest stages with DNA replication stress, a major source of spontaneous genomic instability. However, the origin of these replication defects has remained unclear. We have investigated the consequences of upregulating error-prone DNA polymerases (pol) beta and kappa on chromosomal DNA replication. These enzymes are misregulated in...
