Mechanisms employed by Escherichia coli to prevent ribonucleotide incorporation into genomic DNA by Pol V. by John P McDonald, Alexandra Vaisman, Wojciech Kuban, Myron F Goodman, Roger Woodgate

“…Escherichia coli pol V (UmuD'(2)C), the main translesion DNA polymerase, ensures continued nascent strand extension when the cellular replicase is blocked by unrepaired DNA lesions. Pol V is characterized by low sugar selectivity, which can be further reduced by a Y11A "steric-gate" substitution in UmuC that enables pol V to preferentially incorporate rNTPs over dNTPs in vitro. …”
