ATR/Chk1 pathway is essential for resumption of DNA synthesis and cell survival in UV-irradiated XP variant cells
1 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase eta (poleta) performs translesion synthesis past ultraviolet (UV) photoproducts and is deficient in cancer-prone xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) syndrome. The slight sensitivity of XP-V cells to UV is dramatically enhanced by low concentrations of caffeine. So far, the biological explanation for this feature remains elusive. Using DNA combing, we showed that translesion synthesis defect leads...
