Facts about DNA polymerase eta.
Inserts one or 2 nucleotide(s) opposite the lesion, the primer is further extended by the tetrameric POLZ complex. In the case of 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG)-cisplatin cross-link, inserts dCTP opposite the 3' guanine (PubMed:24449906).

Nucleus. Binding to ubiquitinated PCNA mediates colocalization to replication foci during DNA replication and persists at sites of stalled replication forks following UV irradiation (PubMed:12606586, PubMed:16357261, PubMed:24553286). After UV irradiation, recruited to DNA damage sites within 1 hour, to a maximum of about 80%; this recruitment may not be not restricted to cells active in DNA replication (PubMed:22801543). Colocalizes with TRAIP to nuclear foci (PubMed:24553286).
