Mechanism Underlying the Bypass of Apurinic/Pyrimidinic Site Analogs by <i>Sulfolobus acidocaldarius</i> DNA Polymerase IV
The spontaneous depurination of genomic DNA occurs frequently and generates apurinic/pyrimidinic (AP) site damage that is mutagenic or lethal to cells. Error-prone DNA polymerases are specifically responsible for the translesion synthesis (TLS) of specific DNA damage, such as AP site damage, general...
