Human DNA polymerase lambda functionally and physically interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen in normal and translesion DNA synthesis.
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) has been shown to interact with a variety of DNA polymerases (pol) such as pol delta, pol epsilon, pol iota, pol kappa, pol eta, and pol beta. Here we show that PCNA directly interacts with the newly discovered pol lambda cloned from human cells. This interaction stabilizes the binding of pol lambda to the primer template, thus increasing its affinity f...
متن کاملThe POLD3 subunit of DNA polymerase δ can promote translesion synthesis independently of DNA polymerase ζ
The replicative DNA polymerase Polδ consists of a catalytic subunit POLD1/p125 and three regulatory subunits POLD2/p50, POLD3/p66 and POLD4/p12. The ortholog of POLD3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pol32, is required for a significant proportion of spontaneous and UV-induced mutagenesis through its additional role in translesion synthesis (TLS) as a subunit of DNA polymerase ζ. Remarkably, chicke...
متن کاملStudies of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen Mutant Proteins Defective in Translesion Synthesis and Mismatch Repair
Translesion synthesis (TLS), the process by which DNA polymerases replicate through DNA lesions, is the source of most DNA damage-induced mutations. Sometimes TLS is carried out by classical DNA polymerases that have evolved to synthesize DNA on non-damaged templates. Most of the time, however, TLS is carried out by specialized non-classical DNA polymerases that have evolved to synthesize DNA o...
متن کاملIntrinsic Flexibility of Ubiquitin on Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) in Translesion Synthesis*
Ubiquitin conjugation provides a crucial signaling role in hundreds of cellular pathways; however, a structural understanding of ubiquitinated substrates is lacking. One important substrate is monoubiquitinated PCNA (PCNA-Ub), which signals for recruitment of damage-tolerant polymerases in the translesion synthesis (TLS) pathway of DNA damage avoidance. We use a novel and efficient enzymatic me...
متن کاملStudies of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and its role in translesion synthesis
DNA damage on the template strand blocks replication by classical DNA polymerases. One major pathway to overcome these replication blocks is translesion synthesis, which is the replicative bypass of DNA damage by non-classical polymerases. For the cell to utilize translesion synthesis, the non-classical DNA polymerase must be recruited to sites of DNA damage and a polymerase switch must occur b...
