Abstract
All known cellular organisms have DNA repair pathways, essential for maintaining genomic stability. In biological contexts in which it is not possible to repair DNA lesions before transcription or replication events, tolerance mechanisms that allow the continuation of these processes are relevant. Among the damage tolerance mechanisms, the main one is translesion synthesis (TLS), which in…

Abstract
Most organisms store their genetic information in DNA, which is constantly exposed to endogenous and exogenous physical and chemical agents that damage it. DNA lesions can block replication or transcription, leading to dysfunction and cell death, or can be potentially mutagenic. In addition to DNA repair pathways, cells have DNA damage tolerance mechanisms (DDT) that allow DNA replication…

Abstract
Naja kaouthia is a medically important snake from the Elapidae family, widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia in various habitats. This species has a diverse venom composition, including 16 protein families, from which 13 are toxin families, and considerable intraspecific variation. The clinical manifestations of Naja kaouthia snakebite are characterized by predominantly neurotoxic …

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal disease in which patients present photosensitivity, high incidence of melanoma and non-melanocytic skin tumors, among other symptoms. XP is caused by mutations 7 genes which encode components of the nucleotide excision repair pathway, or mutations in the POLH gene that codes for the translesion synthesis DNA polymerase eta (DNA pol eta), givi…
