30 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background: Mutations in the DNA polymerase delta 1 (POLD1) exonuclease domain cause DNA proofreading defects, hypermutation, hereditary colorectal and endometrial cancer, and are predictive of immunotherapy response. Exonuclease activity is carried out by two magnesium cations, bound to four highly conserved, negatively charged amino acids (AA) consisting of aspartic acid at amino acid position 316 (p.D316),...
