Mechanism of aromatic amine carcinogen bypass by the Y-family polymerase, Dpo4

Bulky DNA damage inhibits DNA synthesis by replicative polymerases and often requires the action of error prone bypass polymerases. The exact mechanism governing adduct-induced mutagenesis and its dependence on the DNA sequence context remains unclear. In this work, we characterize Dpo4 binding conf...
