Abstract excerpt
The vast majority of microorganisms live under starvation-associated stress conditions that cause mutagenesis despite the limitation of DNA replication and cell division. In this study, we compared the roles of polymerase zeta (Pol zeta) and non-homologous DNA-end joining (NHEJ) in starvation-associated spontaneous base substitutions and frameshifts, using yeast mutants carrying deletions of REV3 (encoding the...
