Abstract excerpt
Translesion synthesis DNA polymerases contribute to DNA damage tolerance by mediating replication of damaged templates. Due to the low fidelity of these enzymes, lesion bypass is often mutagenic. We have previously shown that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the contribution of the error-prone DNA polymerase zeta (Polzeta) to replication and mutagenesis is greatly enhanced if the normal replisome is defective due to...
