Abstract excerpt
The Y family DNA polymerase Rev1 has been proposed to play a regulatory role in the replication of damaged templates. To elucidate the mechanism by which Rev1 promotes DNA damage bypass, we have analyzed the progression of replication on UV light-damaged DNA in mouse embryonic fibroblasts that contain a defined deletion in the N-terminal BRCT domain of Rev1 or that are deficient for Rev1. We provide evidence that...
