Abstract excerpt
Translesion synthesis is a major mechanism with which eukaryotic cells deal with DNA damage during replication. Mono-ubiquitinated PCNA is a key regulator of this process. We have investigated whether a ubiquitin-PCNA fusion can mimic ubiquitinated PCNA, by transforming plasmids expressing this fusion protein into different mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We show that the fusion protein is able to form PCNA...
