== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/POLH_YEAST POLH_YEAST] DNA polymerase specifically involved in DNA repair. Plays an important role in translesion synthesis, where the normal high fidelity DNA polymerases cannot proceed and DNA synthesis stalls. Plays an important role in the repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers. Depending on the context, it inserts the correct base, but causes frequent base transitions and transversions. Efficiently incorporates nucleotides opposite to other UV or oxidative DNA damages like O(6)-methylguanine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine of 2'-deoxyguanosine (FaPydG), or p-benzoquinone DNA adducts.<ref>PMID:9409821</ref> <ref>PMID:10347143</ref> <ref>PMID:10601233</ref> <ref>PMID:9974380</ref> <ref>PMID:10924462</ref> <ref>PMID:10713149</ref> <ref>PMID:11027270</ref> <ref>PMID:10932195</ref> <ref>PMID:10725365</ref> <ref>PMID:11062246</ref> <ref>PMID:11545742</ref> <ref>PMID:11113193</ref> <ref>PMID:11238937</ref> <ref>PMID:11054429</ref> <ref>PMID:12110599</ref> <ref>PMID:11861920</ref> <ref>PMID:12899630</ref> <ref>PMID:12665597</ref> <ref>PMID:12888515</ref> <ref>PMID:12692307</ref> <ref>PMID:14527996</ref> <ref>PMID:15157108</ref> <ref>PMID:15544332</ref> <ref>PMID:15284331</ref> <ref>PMID:15333698</ref> <ref>PMID:15024063</ref> <ref>PMID:15779911</ref> <ref>PMID:16181813</ref> <ref>PMID:15520252</ref> <ref>PMID:16366567</ref> <ref>PMID:15743815</ref> <ref>PMID:16866379</ref> <ref>PMID:16387871</ref> <ref>PMID:16415180</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Eukaryotic DNA polymerase eta catalyzes translesion synthesis of thymine dimers and 8-oxoguanines. It is comprised of a polymerase domain and a C-terminal region, both of which are required for its biological function. The C-terminal region mediates interactions with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and other translesion synthesis proteins such as Rev1. This region contains a ubiquitin-binding/zinc-binding (UBZ) motif and a PCNA-interacting protein (PIP) motif. Currently little structural information is available for this region of polymerase eta. Using a combination of approaches-including genetic complementation assays, X-ray crystallography, Langevin dynamics simulations, and small-angle X-ray scattering-we show that the C-terminal region is partially unstructured and has high conformational flexibility. This implies that the C-terminal region acts as a flexible tether linking the polymerase domain to PCNA thereby increasing its local concentration. Such tethering would facilitate the sampling of translesion synthesis polymerases to ensure that the most appropriate one is selected to bypass the lesion.

The C-terminal region of translesion synthesis DNA polymerase eta is partially unstructured and has high conformational flexibility.,Powers KT, Elcock AH, Washington MT Nucleic Acids Res. 2018 Jan 29. pii: 4827929. doi: 10.1093/nar/gky031. PMID:29385534<ref>PMID:29385534</ref>
