Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) mediated by low-fidelity DNA polymerases is an essential cellular mechanism for bypassing DNA lesions that obstruct DNA replication progression. However, the access of TLS polymerases to the replication machinery must be kept tightly in check to avoid excessive mutagenesis. Recruitment of DNA polymerase η (Pol η) and other Y-family TLS polymerases to damaged DNA relies on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) monoubiquitylation and is regulated at several levels. Using a microscopy-based RNAi screen, here we identified an important role of the SUMO modification pathway in limiting Pol η interactions with DNA damage sites in human cells. We found that Pol η undergoes DNA damage- and protein inhibitor of activated STAT 1 (PIAS1)-dependent polySUMOylation upon its association with monoubiquitylated PCNA, rendering it susceptible to extraction from DNA damage sites by SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) activity. Using proteomic profiling, we demonstrate that Pol η is targeted for multisite SUMOylation, and that collectively these SUMO modifications are essential for PIAS1- and STUbL-mediated displacement of Pol η from DNA damage sites. These findings suggest that a SUMO-driven feedback inhibition mechanism is an intrinsic feature of TLS-mediated lesion bypass functioning to curtail the interaction of Pol η with PCNA at damaged DNA to prevent harmful mutagenesis.

DNA polymerase (pol) kappa is a Y-family translesion DNA polymerase conserved throughout all domains of life. Pol kappa is special6 ized for the ability to copy DNA containing minor groove DNA adducts, especially N2-dG adducts, as well as to extend primer termini containing DNA damage or mismatched base pairs. Pol kappa generally cannot copy DNA containing major groove modifications or UV-induced photoproducts. Pol kappa can also copy structured or non-B-form DNA, such as microsatellite DNA, common fragile sites, and DNA containing G quadruplexes. Thus, pol kappa has roles both in maintaining and compromising genomic integrity. The expression of pol kappa is altered in several different cancer types, which can lead to genome instability. In addition, many cancer-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been reported in the POLK gene, some of which are associated with poor survival and altered chemotherapy response. Because of this, identifying inhibitors of pol kappa is an active area of research. This review will address these activities of pol kappa, with a focus on lesion bypass and cellular mutagenesis.

ABSTRACT Rev1, a Y family DNA polymerase (Pol) functions together with Polζ, a B family Pol comprised of the Rev3 catalytic subunit and Rev7 accessory subunit, in promoting translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). Extensive genetic studies with Saccharomyces cerevisiae have indicated a requirement of both Polζ and Rev1 for damage-induced mutagenesis, implicating their involvement in mutagenic TLS. Polζ is specifically adapted to promote the extension step of lesion bypass, as it proficiently extends primer termini opposite DNA lesions, and it is also a proficient extender of mismatched primer termini on undamaged DNAs. Since TLS through UV-induced lesions and various other DNA lesions does not depend upon the DNA-synthetic activity of Rev1, Rev1 must contribute to Polζ-dependent TLS in a nonenzymatic way. Here, we provide evidence for the physical association of Rev1 with Polζ and show that this binding is mediated through the C terminus of Rev1 and the polymerase domain of Rev3. Importantly, a rev1 mutant that lacks the C-terminal 72 residues which inactivate interaction with Rev3 exhibits the same high degree of UV sensitivity and defectiveness in UV-induced mutagenesis as that conferred by the rev1Δ mutation. We propose that Rev1 binding to Polζ is indispensable for the targeting of Polζ to the replication fork stalled at a DNA lesion. In addition to this structural role, Rev1 binding enhances the proficiency of Polζ for the extension of mismatched primer termini on undamaged DNAs and for the extension of primer termini opposite DNA lesions.

ABSTRACT The Rev1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae functions in translesion synthesis (TLS) together with DNA polymerase (Pol) ζ, which is comprised of the Rev3 catalytic and the Rev7 accessory subunits. Rev1, a member of the Y family of Pols, differs from other members in its high degree of specificity for incorporating a C opposite template G as well as opposite an abasic site. Although Rev1 is indispensable for Polζ-dependent TLS, its DNA synthetic activity is not required for many of the Polζ-dependent lesion bypass events. This observation has suggested a structural role for Rev1 in this process. Here we show that in yeast, Rev1 forms a stable complex with Rev7, and the two proteins copurify. Importantly, the polymerase-associated domain (PAD) of Rev1 mediates its binding to Rev7. These observations reveal a novel role for the PAD region of Rev1 in protein-protein interactions, and they raise the possibility of a similar involvement of the PAD of other Y family Pols in protein-protein interactions. We discuss the possible roles of Rev1 versus the Rev1-Rev7 complex in TLS.
