DNA polymerase zeta is believed to be an essential constituent of DNA damage tolerance, comprising several pathways that allow the replication of DNA templates containing unrepaired damage. We wanted to better define the role of polymerase zeta in DNA damage tolerance in mammalian cells. To this aim we have investigated replication of ultraviolet light-damaged DNA templates in mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient for Rev3, the catalytic subunit of polymerase zeta. We found that Rev3 is important for a post-replication repair pathway of helix-distorting [6-4]pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts and, to a lesser extent, of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. Unlike its partner Rev1, Rev3 appears not to be involved in an immediate translesion synthesis pathway at a stalled replication fork. The deficiency of Rev3(-/-) MEFs in post-replication repair of different photoproducts contributes to the extreme sensitivity of these cells to UV light.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
