Abstract excerpt
Replicative polymerases (Pols) arrest at damaged DNA nucleotides, which induces ubiquitination of the DNA sliding clamp PCNA (PCNA-Ub) and DNA damage signaling. PCNA-Ub is associated with the recruitment or activation of translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases of the Y family that can bypass the lesions, thereby rescuing replication and preventing replication fork collapse and consequent formation of...
