Nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription are intimately related. First, TFIIH has a dual role in transcription initiation and NER and, secondly, transcription leads to more efficient repair of damage present in transcribed sequences. It is thought that elongating RNAPII, stalled at a DNA lesion, is used for the loading of the NER...
As predicted by the amino acid sequence, the purified protein coded by Schizosaccharomyces pombe SPAC2F7.06c is a DNA polymerase (SpPol4) whose biochemical properties resemble those of other X family (PolX) members. Thus, this new PolX is template-dependent, polymerizes in a distributive manner, lacks a detectable 30!50 proofreading...
