Abstract excerpt
The RAD6 pathway allows replication across DNA lesions by either an error-prone or error-free mode. Error-prone replication involves translesion polymerases and requires monoubiquitylation at lysine (K) 164 of PCNA by the Rad6 and Rad18 enzymes. By contrast, the error-free bypass is triggered by modification of PCNA by K63-linked polyubiquitin chains, a reaction that requires in addition to Rad6 and Rad18 the...
