Título: | Essential role for polymerase specialization in cellular nonhomologous end joining |
Autor: | Pryor, John M.; Waters, Crystal A.; Aza, Ana CSIC; Asagoshi, Kenjiro; Strom, Christina; Mieczkowski, Piotr A.; Blanco, Luis CSIC ORCID ; Ramsden, Dale A. | Fecha de publicación: | 18-ago-2015 | Editor: | National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) | Citación: | PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 112(33): E4537- E4545 (2015) | Resumen: | Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) repairs chromosome breaks and must remain effective in the face of extensive diversity in broken end structures. We show here that this flexibility is often reliant on the ability to direct DNA synthesis across strand breaks, and that polymerase (Pol) μ and Pol λ are the only mammalian DNA polymerases that have this activity. By systematically varying substrate in cells, we show each polymerase is uniquely proficient in different contexts. The templating nucleotide is also selected differently, with Pol μ using the unpaired base adjacent to the downstream 5′ phosphate even when there are available template sites further upstream of this position; this makes Pol μ more flexible but also less accurate than Pol λ. Loss of either polymerase alone consequently has clear and distinguishable effects on the fidelity of repair, but end remodeling by cellular nucleases and the remaining polymerase helps mitigate the effects on overall repair efficiency. Accordingly, when cells are deficient in both polymerases there is synergistic impact on NHEJ efficiency, both in terms of repair of defined substrates and cellular resistance to ionizing radiation. Pol μ and Pol λ thus provide distinct solutions to a problem for DNA synthesis that is unique to this pathway and play a key role in conferring on NHEJ the flexibility required for accurate and efficient repair. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/124333 | DOI: | 10.1073/pnas.1505805112 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1073/pnas.1505805112 issn: 1091-6490 |
