DNA polymerase zeta is one of several translesion synthesis polymerases that act to promote replication through DNA lesions that would otherwise stall the replicative polymerases. It is a heterotetramer, in which the catalytic subunit is encoded by DNApol-ζ, and is specialized for the extension step of lesion bypass. (Adapted from PMID:30005324.)
Notes on Group
The products Pol31 and Pol32 are accessory subunits of both DNA POLYMERASE DELTA and DNA POLYMERASE ZETA.
