This review integrates 60 years of research on SOS repair and SOS mutagenesis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, from Jean Weigle's experiment in 1953 (mutagenesis of lambda bacteriophage in UV-irradiated bacteria) to the latest achievements in studying SOS mutagenesis on all living organisms, i.e., Eukarya, Archaea and Bacteria. A key role in establishing of a biochemical basis for SOS mutagenesis belongs to the finding in 1998-1999 that specific error-prone DNA polymerases (PolV and others) catalyzed translesion synthesis on damaged DNA. This review focuses on recent studies that address new models for SOS-induced mutagenesis in Escherichia coli and Homo sapiens cells.
