Abstract excerpt
TREX2, a 3'-5' exonuclease, is a part of the DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathway that stabilizes replication forks (RFs) by ubiquitinating PCNA along with the ubiquitin E3 ligase RAD18 and other DDT factors. Mismatch repair (MMR) corrects DNA polymerase errors, including base mismatches and slippage. Here we demonstrate that TREX2 deletion reduces mutations in cells upon exposure to genotoxins, including those...
