DNA Polymerase ζ without the C-Terminus of Catalytic Subunit Rev3 Retains Characteristic Activity, but Alters Mutation Specificity of Ultraviolet Radiation in Yeast
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...
