Peptide Synthesis> | … Rev1-CT was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells and purified as described previously. 10 A polκ-RIR peptide (560–575) incorporating an N-terminal fluorescent FAM label (FAM-polκ-RIR) was custom synthesized by GenScript … | Get A Quote |
Translesion synthesis (TLS) is a DNA damage tolerance mechanism that allows replicative bypass of DNA lesions, including DNA adducts formed by cancer chemotherapeutics. Previous studies demonstrated that suppression of TLS can increase sensitivity of cancer cells to first-line chemotherapeutics and decrease mutagenesis linked to the onset of chemoresistance, marking the TLS pathway as an emerging therapeutic target. TLS is mediated by a heteroprotein complex consisting of specialized DNA polymerases, including the Y-family DNA polymerase Rev1. Previously, we developed a screening assay to identify the first small molecules that disrupt the protein-protein interaction between the C-terminal domain of Rev... More
