Research Abstract |
We studied how eukaryotic cells respond to various DNA damages that prevent the progression of DNA replication fork. We found that one of the translesion DNA synthesis polymerase, DNA polymerase η, interacts with several other repair proteins such as mismatch repair proteins, is phosphorylated and ubiquitinated at certain amino acid residues, and changes the intracellular localization upon UV irradiation. We demonstrated that the template-switching mechanism is operating not only in prokaryotes but also in higher eukaryotes.
