Two-polymerase mechanisms dictate error-free and error-prone translesion DNA synthesis in mammals

DNA replication across blocking lesions occurs by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), involving a multitude of mutagenic DNA polymerases that operate to protect the mammalian genome. Using a quantitative TLS assay, we identified three main classes of TLS in human cells: two rapid and error‐free, and th...
