Abstract excerpt
Specialized DNA damage-bypass Y-family DNA polymerases contribute to cancer prevention by providing cellular tolerance to DNA damage that can lead to mutations and contribute to cancer progression by increasing genomic instability. Y-family polymerases can also bypass DNA adducts caused by chemotherapy agents. One of the four human Y-family DNA polymerases, DNA polymerase (pol) κ, has been shown to be specific...
