A role for polymerase eta in the cellular tolerance to cisplatin-induced damage.

Mutation of the POLH gene encoding DNA polymerase eta (pol eta) causes the UV-sensitivity syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum-variant (XP-V) which is linked to the ability of pol eta to accurately bypass UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers during a process termed translesion synthesis. Pol eta can a...
