Two-polymerase mechanisms dictate error-free and error-prone translesion DNA synthesis in mammals

DNA replication across blocking lesions occurs by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), involving a multitude of mutagenic DNA polymerases that operate to protect the mammalian genome. Using a quantitative TLS assay, we identified three main classes of TLS in human cells: two rapid and error‐free, and th...

Shrnutí:DNA replication across blocking lesions occurs by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), involving a multitude of mutagenic DNA polymerases that operate to protect the mammalian genome. Using a quantitative TLS assay, we identified three main classes of TLS in human cells: two rapid and error‐free, and the third slow and error‐prone. A single gene, REV3L , encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ζ (polζ), was found to have a pivotal role in TLS, being involved in TLS across all lesions examined, except for a TT cyclobutane dimer. Genetic epistasis siRNA analysis indicated that discrete two‐polymerase combinations with polζ dictate error‐prone or error‐free TLS across the same lesion. These results highlight the central role of polζ in both error‐prone and error‐free TLS in mammalian cells, and show that bypass of a single lesion may involve at least three different DNA polymerases, operating in different two‐polymerase combinations.
