Abstract excerpt
Defects in the gene encoding human Poleta result in xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V), an inherited cancer-prone syndrome. Poleta catalyzes efficient and accurate translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) past UV-induced lesions. In addition to Poleta, human cells have multiple TLS polymerases such as Poliota, Polkappa, Polzeta and REV1. REV1 physically interacts with other TLS polymerases, but the physiological...
