Abstract excerpt
The encounter of a replication fork with a blocking DNA lesion is a common event that cells need to address properly to preserve genome integrity. Cells possess two main strategies to tolerate unrepaired lesions: potentially mutagenic translesion synthesis (TLS) and nonmutagenic damage avoidance (DA). Little is known about the partitioning between these two strategies. Because genes involved in DA mechanisms...
