How a homolog of high-fidelity replicases conducts mutagenic DNA synthesis

All DNA replicases achieve high fidelity by a conserved mechanism, but each translesion polymerase carries out mutagenic DNA synthesis in its own way. Here we report crystal structures of human DNA polymerase ν (Pol ν), which is homologous to high-fidelity replicases and yet error-prone. Instead of...
