New functions for Y family polymerases
Abstract
The Y family of DNA polymerases plays crucial roles in carrying out translesion synthesis past damaged bases in DNA. Several recent papers suggest that they might have other roles as well in gene conversion, in nucleotide excision repair (NER), and in DNA replication under stressed conditions.
