During translesion synthesis, eukaryotic DNA polymerase ζ (zeta) carries out extension from a wide range of DNA lesions. In this issue, Malik et al. (2020) (1) present the cryo-EM structure of polymerase ζ and show how it catalyzes the extension step of translesion synthesis.
在跨损伤合成过程中,真核 DNA 聚合酶 ζ(zeta)可以从多种 DNA 损伤部位进行延伸。在本期杂志中,Malik 等人(2020)(1)展示了聚合酶 ζ 的冷冻电镜结构,并说明了它如何催化跨损伤合成的延伸步骤。
