Abstract excerpt
In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the DEF1 gene is responsible for regulation of many cellular processes including ubiquitin-dependent degradation of DNA metabolism proteins. Recently it has been proposed that Def1 promotes degradation of the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase δ at sites of DNA damage and regulates a switch to specialized polymerases and, as a consequence, DNA-damage induced mutagenesis. The...
