Figure 1. Model for the induction of DDR and the suppression of mutations by post-TLS repair
Error-prone TLS at distorting nucleotide lesions (red+orange tract in panel A) prevents the induction of DSBs and of DDR, at the price of incorrect incorporations that result in mutations during the S phase of the next cell cycle. Post TLS repair (panel B) excises the TLS error. The resulting ssDNA tract induces DDR. We hypothesise that, during the next S phase, the gapped template can collapse to a DSB, mediating a delayed apoptotic response. Error-free gap filling by TLS (panel C, orange tract) prevents the induction of a nucleotide substitution.
