A human high-fidelity DNA polymerase holoenzyme has a wide range of lesion bypass activities

Rachel L. Dannenberg, Joseph A. Cardina, Helen Washington…·Mark Hedglin

This study shows human pol δ holoenzymes can bypass various lesions with insertion and extension efficiencies ranging from 0 to 100%.

Biochemical and Structural Characterization of Fapy·dG Replication by Human DNA Polymerase β

Shijun Gao, Peyton N. Oden, Benjamin J. Ryan…·Marc M. Greenberg

This study investigates how human DNA polymerase β processes the mutagenic lesion Fapy*dG during DNA replication, showing inefficient bypass and incorporation, suggesting mutagenicity arises from bypass rather than lesion incorporation.
