Expression of POLD1exo− changes the mutation spectrum of TLS past CPD. (A) A CPD placed opposite GpC mismatch was randomly integrated into the genome using the PiggyBlock vector. TLS across the CPD results in a dual peak in the resulting cellular clone (left), while template switching results in a homogenous GC read (right). (B) The pattern of nucleotide incorporation opposite the CPD site. The percentage of each nucleotide incorporated at each position is indicated by the size of the letter of the nucleotide in the column. The total numbers of TLS events are shown. (C) A schematic representation of the opposed arrangement of CPD photoproducts in the piggyBlock plasmid (piggyBlock-op) and possible outcomes of DNA replication, only by TLS, over the lesion. (D) The pattern of nucleotide incorporation opposite the CPD in polη/polζ/xpa and polη/polζ/xpa/pold1exo− cells in piggyBlock-op plasmid.
