Abstract excerpt
The prototypic Y family DNA polymerase IV (PolIV) of Escherichia coli is involved in multiple replication-associated processes including spontaneous mutagenesis, translesion synthesis (TLS), cell fitness, survival under stressful conditions and checkpoint like functions. It interacts physically and functionally with the replisome's beta processivity clamp through the canonical PolIV C-terminal peptide (CTP). A...
