Identification of novel DNA-damage tolerance genes reveals regulation of translesion DNA synthesis by nucleophosmin

Cells cope with replication-blocking lesions via translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS is carried out by low-fidelity DNA polymerases that replicate across lesions, thereby preventing genome instability at the cost of increased point mutations. Here we perform a two-stage siRNA-based functional scree...
