Abstract excerpt
By extending synthesis opposite from a diverse array of DNA lesions, DNA polymerase (Pol) ζ performs a crucial role in translesion synthesis (TLS). In yeast and cancer cells, Rev1 functions as an indispensable scaffolding component of Polζ and it imposes highly error-prone TLS upon Polζ. However, for TLS that occurs during replication in normal human cells, Rev1 functions instead as a scaffolding component of...
