DNA repair: DNA polymerase zeta and Rev1 break in

Current Biology : CB

Abstract

DNA polymerase zeta and Rev1 play key roles in replication past DNA lesions. New work shows that the yeast checkpoint kinase Mec1 recruits a complex consisting of polymerase zeta and Rev1 to DNA double-strand breaks. This study highlights the role of polymerases that mediate translesion synthesis in the response to DNA double-strand breaks.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
