Polη O-GlcNAcylation governs genome integrity during translesion DNA synthesis

Polη is a key player in translesion DNA synthesis. Here, the authors uncover that, in response to DNA damage, Polη undergoes O-GlcNAcylation at threonine 457 by O-GlcNAc transferase to facilitate the timely disassembly of Polη after DNA lesion bypass.
