title: DNA repair: DNA polymerase zeta and Rev1 break in.
abstract: DNA polymerase zeta and Rev1 play key roles in replication past DNA lesions. New work shows that the yeast checkpoint kinase Mec1 recruits a complex consisting of polymerase zeta and Rev1 to DNA double-strand breaks. This study highlights the role of polymerases that mediate translesion synthesis in the response to DNA double-strand breaks.
