DNA polymerase eta (Poleta) is responsible for efficient translesion synthesis (TLS) past cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimers (TT dimers), the major DNA lesions induced by UV irradiation. Loss of human Poleta leads to xeroderma pigmentosum variant syndrome, clearly indicating that Poleta plays a vital role in preventing skin cancer caused by exposure to sunlight. To further examine Poleta functions and the ... [more]
