Abstract excerpt
UVR is a major environmental risk factor for the development of melanoma. Here we describe a coupled DNA-damage tolerance (DDT) mechanism and G2-phase cell cycle checkpoint induced in response to suberythemal doses of UVR that is commonly defective in melanomas. This coupled response is triggered by a small number of UVR-induced DNA lesions incurred during G1 phase that are not repaired by nucleotide excision...
