A DinB variant reveals diverse physiological consequences of incomplete TLS extension by a Y-family DNA polymerase

The only Y-family DNA polymerase conserved among all domains of life, DinB and its mammalian ortholog pol κ, catalyzes proficient bypass of damaged DNA in translesion synthesis (TLS). Y-family DNA polymerases, including DinB, have been implicated in diverse biological phenomena ranging from adaptive...
