Abstract excerpt
Translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases mediate DNA damage bypass during replication. The TLS polymerase Rev1 has two important functions in the TLS pathway, including dCMP transferase activity and acting as a scaffolding protein for other TLS polymerases at the C-terminus. Because of the former activity, Rev1 bypasses apurinic/apyrimidinic sites by incorporating dCMP, whereas the latter activity mediates...
