TLDR
The unrooted phylogenetic tree shown in Figure 1 shows the progression of tree-like structures formed over time in the presence of E.coli and shows the relationships between E. Coli and Tournaisian trees.

Eukaryotic translesion synthesis DNA polymerases: Specificity of structure and function

TL;DR: This review focuses on eukaryotic translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases, and the emphasis is on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human Y- family polymerases (Pols) eta, iota, kappa, and Rev1, as well as on Polzeta, which is a member of the B-family polymerases.

Interaction of Human DNA Polymerase η with Monoubiquitinated PCNA: A Possible Mechanism for the Polymerase Switch in Response to DNA Damage

TL;DR: This work shows that, in human cells, PCNA becomes monoubiquitinated following UV irradiation of the cells and that this is dependent on the hRad18 protein, and identifies two motifs in poleta that are involved in this interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Error-prone repair DNA polymerases in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

TL;DR: This review is devoted primarily to a discussion of Y-family polymerase members that exhibit error-prone behavior, which poses challenging questions about their roles in targeting and trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations induced by ultraviolet light

TL;DR: It is shown that CPDs (rather than 6-4 photoproducts or other lesions) are responsible for the great majority of UVB-induced mutations and the role of DNA damage-tolerant DNA polymerases in UV lesion bypass and mutagenesis is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress-Induced Mutagenesis in Bacteria

TL;DR: It is suggested that irrespective of the causes of their emergence, stress-induced mutations participate in adaptive evolution and could be a by-product of genetic strategies for improving survival under stress.

Compilation, alignment, and phylogenetic relationships of DNA polymerases

TL;DR: This is an update of an earlier compilation and alignment of DNA polymerase sequences (Ito and Braithwaite, 1991) that attempted to compile complete sequences, to facilitate the identification of conserved and viable regions of the DNA polymerases.
