Abstract excerpt
We recently demonstrated that Polzeta and Rev1 contribute to alleviate the lethal effects of Me-lex, which selectively generates 3-methyladenine, by error prone lesion bypass. In order to determine the role of Poleta in the biological fate of Me-lex induced lesions, the RAD30 (Poleta) gene was deleted in the yIG397 parental strain and in its rev3 (Polzeta) derivative, and the strains transformed with plasmid DNA...
