Interaction of human DNA polymerase eta with monoubiquitinated PCNA: a possible mechanism for the polymerase switch in response to DNA damage 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Most types of DNA damage block replication fork progression during DNA synthesis because replicative DNA polymerases are unable to accommodate altered DNA bases in their active sites. To overcome this block, eukaryotic cells employ specialized translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases, which can insert nucleotides opposite damaged bases. In particular, TLS by DNA polymerase eta (poleta) is the major pathway for bypassing UV photoproducts. How the cell switches from replicative to TLS polymerase at the site of blocked forks is unknown. We show that, in human cells, PCNA becomes monoubiquitinated following UV irradiation of the cells and that this is dependent on the hRad18 protein. Monoubiquitinated PCNA but not unmodified PCNA specifically interacts with poleta, and we have identified two motifs in poleta that are involved in this interaction. Our findings provide an attractive mechanism by which monoubiquitination of PCNA might mediate the polymerase switch. 相似文献

Most types of DNA damage block the passage of the replication machinery. In order to bypass these blocks, cells employ special translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases, which have lower stringency than replicative polymerases. DNA polymerase eta is the major polymerase responsible for bypassing UV lesions in DNA and its absence results in the variant form of the genetic disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum. Other TLS polymerases have specificities for different types of damage, but their precise roles inside the cell have not yet been established. These polymerases are located in replication factories during DNA replication and the polymerase sliding clamp PCNA plays an important role in mediating switching between different polymerases. 相似文献

Translesion synthesis (TLS) is a potentially mutagenic method of bypassing DNA damage encountered during replication that requires the recruitment of specialized DNA polymerases to stalled replication forks or postreplicative gaps. Current models suggest that TLS is activated by monoubiquitination of the DNA sliding clamp PCNA. However, in higher organisms, fully effective TLS also requires a noncatalytic function of the Y family polymerase REV1. Using the genetically tractable chicken cell line DT40, we show that TLS at stalled replication forks requires that both the translesion polymerase-interaction domain and ubiquitin-binding domain in the C terminus of REV1 are intact. Surprisingly, however, PCNA ubiquitination is not required to maintain normal fork progression on damaged DNA. Conversely, PCNA ubiquitination is essential for filling postreplicative gaps. Thus, PCNA ubiquitination and REV1 play distinct roles in the coordination of DNA damage bypass that are temporally separated relative to replication fork arrest. 相似文献

The cell uses specialised Y-family DNA polymerases or damage avoidance mechanisms to replicate past damaged sites in DNA. These processes are under complex regulatory systems, which employ different types of post-translational modification. All the Y-family polymerases have ubiquitin binding domains that bind to mono-ubiquitinated PCNA to effect the switching from replicative to Y-family polymerase. Ubiquitination and de-ubiquitination of PCNA are tightly regulated. There is also evidence for another as yet unidentified ubiquitinated protein being involved in recruitment of Y-family polymerases to chromatin. Poly-ubiquitination of PCNA stimulates damage avoidance, and, at least in yeast, PCNA is SUMOylated to prevent unwanted recombination events at the replication fork. The Y-family polymerases themselves can be ubiquitinated and, in the case of DNA polymerase η, this results in the polymerase being excluded from chromatin. 相似文献

Replicative DNA polymerases are blocked at DNA lesions. Synthesis past DNA damage requires the replacement of the replicative polymerase by one of a group of specialised translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases, most of which belong to the Y-family. Each of these has different substrate specificities for different types of damage. In eukaryotes mono-ubiquitination of PCNA plays a crucial role in the switch from replicative to TLS polymerases at stalled forks. All the Y-family polymerases have ubiquitin binding sites that increase their binding affinity for ubiquitinated PCNA at the sites of stalled forks. 相似文献

Monoubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) enables translesion synthesis (TLS) by specialized DNA polymerases to replicate past damaged DNA. We have studied PCNA modification and chromatin recruitment of TLS polymerases in Xenopus egg extracts and mammalian cells. We show that Xenopus PCNA becomes ubiquitinated and sumoylated after replication stress induced by UV or aphidicolin. Under these conditions the TLS polymerase eta was recruited to chromatin and also became monoubiquitinated. PTIP/Swift is an adaptor protein for the ATM/ATR kinases. Immunodepletion of PTIP/Swift from Xenopus extracts prevented efficient PCNA ubiquitination and polymerase eta recruitment to chromatin during replicative stress. In addition to PCNA ubiquitination, efficient polymerase eta recruitment to chromatin also required ATR kinase activity. We also show that PTIP depletion from mammalian cells by RNAi reduced PCNA ubiquitination in response to DNA damage, and also decreased the recruitment to chromatin of polymerase eta and the recombination protein Rad51. Our results suggest that PTIP/Swift is an important new regulator of DNA damage avoidance in metazoans. 相似文献

During cell division, replication of the genomic DNA is performed by high-fidelity DNA polymerases but these error-free enzymes can not synthesize across damaged DNA. Specialized DNA polymerases, so called DNA translesion synthesis polymerases (TLS polymerases), can replicate damaged DNA thereby avoiding replication fork breakdown and subsequent chromosomal instability. We focus on the involvement of mammalian TLS polymerases in DNA damage tolerance mechanisms. In detail, we review the discovery of TLS polymerases and describe the molecular features of all the mammalian TLS polymerases identified so far. We give a short overview of the mechanisms that regulate the selectivity and activity of TLS polymerases. In addition, we summarize the current knowledge how different types of DNA damage, relevant either for the induction or treatment of cancer, are bypassed by TLS polymerases. Finally, we elucidate the relevance of TLS polymerases in the context of cancer therapy. 相似文献

Replicative DNA polymerases are blocked by damage in the template DNA. To get past this damage, the cell employs specialised translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases, which have reduced stringency and are able to bypass different lesions. For example, DNA polymerase ? (pol?) is able to carry out TLS past UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. How does the cell bring about the switch from replicative to TLS polymerase? We have shown that, in human cells, when the replication machinery is blocked at DNA damage, PCNA, the sliding clamp required for DNA replication, is mono-ubiquitinated and that this modified form of PCNA has increased affinity for pol?. This provides a mechanism for the polymerase switch. In this Extra-View, we discuss the possible signals that might trigger ubiquitination of PCNA, whether PCNA becomes de-ubiquitinated after TLS has been accomplished and the role of the hREV1 protein in TLS. We point out some apparent differences between mechanisms in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells. 相似文献

Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) can use specialized DNA polymerases to insert and/or extend nucleotides across lesions, thereby limiting stalled replication fork collapse and the potential for cell death. Recent studies have shown that monoubiquitinated proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) plays an important role in recruitment of Y-family TLS polymerases to stalled replication forks after DNA damage treatment. To explore the possible roles of other factors that regulate the ultraviolet (UV)-induced assembly of specialized DNA polymerases at arrested replication forks, we performed immunoprecipitation experiments combined with mass spectrometry and established that DNA polymerase kappa (Polκ) can partner with MSH2, an important mismatch repair protein associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer. We found that depletion of MSH2 impairs PCNA monoubiquitination and the formation of foci containing Polκ and other TLS polymerases after UV irradiation of cells. Interestingly, expression of MSH2 in Rad18-deficient cells increased UV-induced Polκ and REV1 focus formation without detectable changes in PCNA monoubiquitination, indicating that MSH2 can regulate post-UV focus formation by specialized DNA polymerases in both PCNA monoubiquitination-dependent and -independent fashions. Moreover, we observed that MSH2 can facilitate TLS across cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers photoproducts in living cells, presenting a novel role of MSH2 in post-UV cellular responses. 相似文献

Rev1 and DNA polymerase ζ (Polζ) are involved in the tolerance of DNA damage by translesion synthesis (TLS). The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the auxiliary factor of nuclear DNA polymerases, plays an important role in regulating the access of TLS polymerases to the primer terminus. Both Rev1 and Polζ lack the conserved hydrophobic motif that is used by many proteins for the interaction with PCNA at its interdomain connector loop. We have previously reported that the interaction of yeast Polζ with PCNA occurs at an unusual site near the monomer-monomer interface of the trimeric PCNA. Using GST pull-down assays, PCNA-coupled affinity beads pull-down and gel filtration chromatography, we show that the same region is required for the physical interaction of PCNA with the polymerase-associated domain (PAD) of Rev1. The interaction is disrupted by the pol30-113 mutation that results in a double amino acid substitution at the monomer-monomer interface of PCNA. Genetic analysis of the epistatic relationship of the pol30-113 mutation with an array of DNA repair and damage tolerance mutations indicated that PCNA-113 is specifically defective in the Rev1/Polζ-dependent TLS pathway. Taken together, the data suggest that Polζ and Rev1 are unique among PCNA-interacting proteins in using the novel binding site near the intermolecular interface of PCNA. The new mode of Rev1-PCNA binding described here suggests a mechanism by which Rev1 adopts a catalytically inactive configuration at the replication fork. 相似文献

PCNA is monoubiquitinated in response to DNA damage and fork stalling and then initiates recruitment of specialized polymerases in the DNA damage tolerance pathway, translesion synthesis (TLS). Since PCNA is reported to associate with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA during its replication, we investigated whether the EBV deubiquitinating (DUB) enzyme encoded by BPLF1 targets ubiquitinated PCNA and disrupts TLS. An N-terminal BPLF1 fragment (a BPLF1 construct containing the first 246 amino acids [BPLF1 1-246]) associated with PCNA and attenuated its ubiquitination in response to fork-stalling agents UV and hydroxyurea in cultured cells. Moreover, monoubiquitinated PCNA was deubiquitinated after incubation with purified BPLF1 1-246 in vitro. BPLF1 1-246 dysregulated TLS by reducing recruitment of the specialized repair polymerase polymerase η (Polη) to the detergent-resistant chromatin compartment and virtually abolished localization of Polη to nuclear repair foci, both hallmarks of TLS. Expression of BPLF1 1-246 decreased viability of UV-treated cells and led to cell death, presumably through deubiquitination of PCNA and the inability to repair damaged DNA. Importantly, deubiquitination of PCNA could be detected endogenously in EBV-infected cells in comparison with samples expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against BPLF1. Further, the specificity of the interaction between BPLF1 and PCNA was dependent upon a PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) domain within the N-terminal region of BPLF1. Both DUB activity and PIP sequence are conserved in the members of the family Herpesviridae. Thus, deubiquitination of PCNA, normally deubiquitinated by cellular USP1, by the viral DUB can disrupt repair of DNA damage by compromising recruitment of TLS polymerase to stalled replication forks. PCNA is the first cellular target identified for BPLF1 and its deubiquitinating activity. 相似文献

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 replicative polymerases that have evolved to synthesize DNA on non-damaged templates. Most of the time, however, TLS is carried out by specialized translesion polymerases that have evolved to synthesize DNA on damaged templates. TLS requires the mono-ubiquitylation of the replication accessory factor proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). PCNA and ubiquitin-modified PCNA (UbPCNA) stimulate TLS by replicative and translesion polymerases. Two mutant forms of PCNA, one with an E113G substitution and one with a G178S substitution, support normal cell growth but inhibit TLS thereby reducing mutagenesis in yeast. A re-examination of the structures of both mutant PCNA proteins revealed substantial disruptions of the subunit interface that forms the PCNA trimer. Both mutant proteins have reduced trimer stability with the G178S substitution causing a more severe defect. The mutant forms of PCNA and UbPCNA do not stimulate TLS of an abasic site by either replicative Pol δ or translesion Pol η. Normal replication by Pol η was also impacted, but normal replication by Pol δ was much less affected. These findings support a model in which reduced trimer stability causes these mutant PCNA proteins to occasionally undergo conformational changes that compromise their ability to stimulate TLS by both replicative and translesion polymerases. 相似文献

The well-being of all living organisms relies on the accurate duplication of their genomes. This is usually achieved by highly elaborate replicase complexes which ensure that this task is accomplished timely and efficiently. However, cells often must resort to the help of various additional “specialized” DNA polymerases that gain access to genomic DNA when replication fork progression is hindered. One such specialized polymerase family consists of the so-called “translesion synthesis” (TLS) polymerases; enzymes that have evolved to replicate damaged DNA. To fulfill their main cellular mission, TLS polymerases often must sacrifice precision when selecting nucleotide substrates. Low base-substitution fidelity is a well-documented inherent property of these enzymes. However, incorrect nucleotide substrates are not only those which do not comply with Watson–Crick base complementarity, but also those whose sugar moiety is incorrect. Does relaxed base-selectivity automatically mean that the TLS polymerases are unable to efficiently discriminate between ribonucleoside triphosphates and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates that differ by only a single atom? Which strategies do TLS polymerases employ to select suitable nucleotide substrates? In this review, we will collate and summarize data accumulated over the past decade from biochemical and structural studies, which aim to answer these questions. 相似文献

Stalled DNA replication forks activate specific DNA repair mechanism called post-replication repair (PRR) pathways that simply bypass DNA damage. The bypassing of DNA damage by PRR prevents prolonged stalling of DNA replication that could result in double strand breaks (DSBs). Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) functions to initiate and choose different bypassing pathways of PRR. In yeast, DNA replication forks stalled by DNA damage induces monoubiquitination of PCNA at K164, which is catalyzed by Rad6/Rad18 complex. PCNA monoubiquitination triggers the replacement of replicative polymerase with special translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases that are able to replicate past DNA lesions. The PCNA interaction motif and/or the ubiquitin binding motif in most TLS polymerases seem to be important for the regulation of TLS. The TLS pathway is usually error-prone because TLS polymerases have low fidelity and no proofreading activity. PCNA can also be further polyubiquitinated by Ubc13/ Mms2/Rad5 complex, which adds an ubiquitin chain onto monoubiquitinated K164 of PCNA. PCNA polyubiquitination directs a different PRR pathway known as error-free damage avoidance, which uses the newly synthesized sister chromatid as a template to bypass DNA damage presumably through template switching mechanism. Mammalian homologues of all of the yeast PRR proteins have been identified, thus PRR is well conserved throughout evolution. Mutations of some PRR genes are associated with a higher risk for cancers in mice and human patients, strongly supporting the importance of PRR as a tumor suppressor pathway. 相似文献

Crosstalk between replicative and translesional DNA polymerases: PDIP38 interacts directly with Polη
Agnès Tissier Régine Janel-Bintz Stéphane Coulon Esther Klaile Patricia Kannouche Robert P. Fuchs Agnès M. Cordonnier 《DNA Repair》2010,9(8):922-928
Replicative DNA polymerases duplicate genomes in a very efficient and accurate mode. However their progression can be blocked by DNA lesions since they are unable to accommodate bulky damaged bases in their active site. In response to replication blockage, monoubiquitination of PCNA promotes the switch between replicative and specialized polymerases proficient to overcome the obstacle. In this study, we characterize novel connections between proteins involved in replication and TransLesion Synthesis (TLS). We demonstrate that PDIP38 (Polδ interacting protein of 38 kDa) directly interacts with the TLS polymerase Polη. Interestingly, the region of Polη interacting with PDIP38 is found to be located within the ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain (UBZ) of Polη. We show that the depletion of PDIP38 increases the number of cells with Polη foci in the absence of DNA damage and diminishes cell survival after UV irradiation. In addition, PDIP38 is able to interact directly not only with Polη but also with the specialized polymerases Rev1 and Polζ (via Rev7). We thus suggest that PDIP38 serves as a mediator protein helping TLS Pols to transiently replace replicative polymerases at damaged sites. 相似文献

Eukaryotic DNA damage tolerance and translesion synthesis through covalent modifications of PCNA 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4
In addition to well-defined DNA repair pathways, all living organisms have evolved mechanisms to avoid cell death caused by replication fork collapse at a site where replication is blocked due to disruptive covalent modifications of DNA. The term DNA damage tolerance (DDT) has been employed loosely to include a collection of mechanisms by which cells survive replication-blocking lesions with or without associated genomic instability. Recent genetic analyses indicate that DDT in eukaryotes, from yeast to human, consists of two parallel pathways with one being error-free and another highly mutagenic. Interestingly, in budding yeast, these two pathways are mediated by sequential modifications of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) by two ubiquitination complexes Rad6-Rad18 and Mms2-Ubc13-Rad5. Damage-induced monoubiquitination of PCNA by Rad6-Rad18 promotes translesion synthesis (TLS) with increased mutagenesis, while subsequent polyubiquitination of PCNA at the same K164 residue by Mms2-Ubc13-Rad5 promotes error-free lesion bypass. Data obtained from recent studies suggest that the above mechanisms are conserved in higher eukaryotes. In particular, mammals contain multiple specialized TLS polymerases. Defects in one of the TLS polymerases have been linked to genomic instability and cancer. 相似文献

DNA damages hinder the advance of replication forks because of the inability of the replicative polymerases to synthesize across most DNA lesions. Because stalled replication forks are prone to undergo DNA breakage and recombination that can lead to chromosomal rearrangements and cell death, cells possess different mechanisms to ensure the continuity of replication on damaged templates. Specialized, translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases can take over synthesis at DNA damage sites. TLS polymerases synthesize DNA with a high error rate and are responsible for damage-induced mutagenesis, so their activity must be strictly regulated. However, the mechanism that allows their replacement of the replicative polymerase is unknown. Here, using protein complex purification and yeast genetic tools, we identify Def1 as a key factor for damage-induced mutagenesis in yeast. In in vivo experiments we demonstrate that upon DNA damage, Def1 promotes the ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of Pol3, the catalytic subunit of the replicative polymerase δ, whereas Pol31 and Pol32, the other two subunits of polymerase δ, are not affected. We also show that purified Pol31 and Pol32 can form a complex with the TLS polymerase Rev1. Our results imply that TLS polymerases carry out DNA lesion bypass only after the Def1-assisted removal of Pol3 from the stalled replication fork. 相似文献

PCNA ubiquitination is important, but not essential for translesion DNA synthesis in mammalian cells
Hendel A Krijger PH Diamant N Goren Z Langerak P Kim J Reissner T Lee KY Geacintov NE Carell T Myung K Tateishi S D'Andrea A Jacobs H Livneh Z 《PLoS genetics》2011,7(9):e1002262
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is a DNA damage tolerance mechanism in which specialized low-fidelity DNA polymerases bypass replication-blocking lesions, and it is usually associated with mutagenesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae a key event in TLS is the monoubiquitination of PCNA, which enables recruitment of the specialized polymerases to the damaged site through their ubiquitin-binding domain. In mammals, however, there is a debate on the requirement for ubiquitinated PCNA (PCNA-Ub) in TLS. We show that UV-induced Rpa foci, indicative of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) regions caused by UV, accumulate faster and disappear more slowly in Pcna(K164R/K164R) cells, which are resistant to PCNA ubiquitination, compared to Pcna(+/+) cells, consistent with a TLS defect. Direct analysis of TLS in these cells, using gapped plasmids with site-specific lesions, showed that TLS is strongly reduced across UV lesions and the cisplatin-induced intrastrand GG crosslink. A similar effect was obtained in cells lacking Rad18, the E3 ubiquitin ligase which monoubiquitinates PCNA. Consistently, cells lacking Usp1, the enzyme that de-ubiquitinates PCNA exhibited increased TLS across a UV lesion and the cisplatin adduct. In contrast, cells lacking the Rad5-homologs Shprh and Hltf, which polyubiquitinate PCNA, exhibited normal TLS. Knocking down the expression of the TLS genes Rev3L, PolH, or Rev1 in Pcna(K164R/K164R) mouse embryo fibroblasts caused each an increased sensitivity to UV radiation, indicating the existence of TLS pathways that are independent of PCNA-Ub. Taken together these results indicate that PCNA-Ub is required for maximal TLS. However, TLS polymerases can be recruited to damaged DNA also in the absence of PCNA-Ub, and perform TLS, albeit at a significantly lower efficiency and altered mutagenic specificity. 相似文献

The contribution of error-prone DNA polymerases to the DNA damage response has been a subject of great interest in the last decade. Error-prone polymerases are required for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), a process that involves synthesis past a DNA lesion. Under certain circumstances, TLS polymerases can achieve bypass with good efficiency and fidelity. However, they can also in some cases be mutagenic, and so negative regulators of TLS polymerases would have the important function of inhibiting their recruitment to undamaged DNA templates. Recently work from Livneh’s and our groups have provided evidence regarding the role of the cyclin kinase inhibitor p21 as a negative regulator of TLS. Interestingly, both the cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) binding domains of p21 are involved in different aspects of the modulation of TLS, affecting both the interaction between PCNA and the TLS-specific pol η as well as PCNA ubiquitination status. In line with this, p21 was shown to reduce the efficiency but increase the accuracy of TLS. Hence, in absence of DNA damage p21 may work to impede accidental loading of pol η to undamaged DNA and avoid consequential mutagenesis. After UV irradiation, when TLS plays a decisive role, p21 is progressively degraded. This might allow gradual release of replication fork blockage by TLS polymerases. For these reasons, in higher eukaryotes p21 might represent a key regulator of the equilibrium between mutagenesis and cell survival. 相似文献
