Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase ζ (pol ζ) plays a central role in replicating damaged genomic DNA. When DNA synthesis stalls at a lesion, it participates in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), which helps replication proceed. TLS prevents cell death at the expense of new mutations. The current model indicates that pol ζ-dependent TLS events are mediated by Pol31/Pol32 pol ζ subunits, which are shared with replicative polymerase pol...
