Problems in DNA replication may lead to breaks in the replication fork, and recombinational reactions occur to restore the integrity of the fork via strand-invasion of the broken chromosome with its homologous strand. If this happens within repeated DNA sequences, genetic rearrangements may be produced. The bacterial UmuC/DinB family consists of bypass polymerases that are responsible for translesion DNA synthesis. DinB, also referred to as DNA polyermase IV or DNA polymerase k, is an SOS-inducible, error-prone DNA polymerase that plays a role in DNA damage-induced mutagenesis by preferentially making frameshift mutations. DinB is uniquely and highly expressed in the adrenal cortex and testis, as well as in a variety of other tissues. p53 regulates DinB and exposure to various DNA-damaging agents causes an upregulation of DinB.
