Pol μ dGTP mismatch insertion opposite T coupled with ligation reveals promutagenic DNA repair intermediate.

ABSTRACT: Incorporation of mismatched nucleotides during DNA replication or repair leads to transition or transversion mutations and is considered as a predominant source of base substitution mutagenesis in cancer cells. Watson-Crick like dG:dT base pairing is considered to be an important source of genome instability. Here we show that DNA polymerase (pol) μ insertion of 7,8-dihydro-8'-oxo-dGTP (8-oxodGTP) or deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) into a model double-strand break DNA repair substrate with template base T results in efficient ligation by DNA ligase. These results indicate that pol μ-mediated dGTP mismatch insertion opposite template base T coupled with ligation could be a feature of mutation prone nonhomologous end joining during double-strand break repair.

The ligation of pol β mismatch insertion products governs the formation of promutagenic base excision DNA repair intermediates.

Project description:DNA ligase I and DNA ligase III/XRCC1 complex catalyze the ultimate ligation step following DNA polymerase (pol) β nucleotide insertion during base excision repair (BER). Pol β Asn279 and Arg283 are the critical active site residues for the differentiation of an incoming nucleotide and a template base and the N-terminal domain of DNA ligase I mediates its interaction with pol β. Here, we show inefficient ligation of pol β insertion products with mismatched or damaged nucleotides, with the exception of a Watson-Crick-like dGTP insertion opposite T, using BER DNA ligases in vitro. Moreover, pol β N279A and R283A mutants deter the ligation of the promutagenic repair intermediates and the presence of N-terminal domain of DNA ligase I in a coupled reaction governs the channeling of the pol β insertion products. Our results demonstrate that the BER DNA ligases are compromised by subtle changes in all 12 possible noncanonical base pairs at the 3'-end of the nicked repair intermediate. These findings contribute to understanding of how the identity of the mismatch affects the substrate channeling of the repair pathway and the mechanism underlying the coordination between pol β and DNA ligase at the final ligation step to maintain the BER efficiency.

Pol ? ribonucleotide insertion opposite 8-oxodG facilitates the ligation of premutagenic DNA repair intermediate.

Project description:DNA polymerase (pol) ? primarily inserts ribonucleotides into a single-nucleotide gapped DNA intermediate, and the ligation step plays a critical role in the joining of noncomplementary DNA ends during nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) for the repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) caused by reactive oxygen species. Here, we report that the pol ? insertion products of ribonucleotides (rATP or rCTP), instead of deoxyribonucleotides, opposite 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) are efficiently ligated and the presence of Mn2+ stimulates this coupled reaction in vitro. Moreover, our results point to a role of pol ? in mediating ligation during the mutagenic bypass of 8-oxodG, while 3'-preinserted noncanonical base pairs (3'-rA or 3'-rC) on NHEJ repair intermediates compromise the end joining by DNA ligase I or the DNA ligase IV/XRCC4 complex.

DNA ligase I fidelity mediates the mutagenic ligation of pol β oxidized and mismatch nucleotide insertion products in base excision repair.

Project description:DNA ligase I (LIG1) completes the base excision repair (BER) pathway at the last nick-sealing step after DNA polymerase (pol) β gap-filling DNA synthesis. However, the mechanism by which LIG1 fidelity mediates the faithful substrate-product channeling and ligation of repair intermediates at the final steps of the BER pathway remains unclear. We previously reported that pol β 8-oxo-2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate insertion confounds LIG1, leading to the formation of ligation failure products with a 5'-adenylate block. Here, using reconstituted BER assays in vitro, we report the mutagenic ligation of pol β 8-oxo-2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate insertion products and an inefficient ligation of pol β Watson-Crick-like dG:T mismatch insertion by the LIG1 mutant with a perturbed fidelity (E346A/E592A). Moreover, our results reveal that the substrate discrimination of LIG1 for the nicked repair intermediates with preinserted 3'-8-oxodG or mismatches is governed by mutations at both E346 and E592 residues. Finally, we found that aprataxin and flap endonuclease 1, as compensatory DNA-end processing enzymes, can remove the 5'-adenylate block from the abortive ligation products harboring 3'-8-oxodG or the 12 possible noncanonical base pairs. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role of LIG1 as an important determinant in faithful BER and how a multiprotein complex (LIG1, pol β, aprataxin, and flap endonuclease 1) can coordinate to prevent the formation of mutagenic repair intermediates with damaged or mismatched ends at the downstream steps of the BER pathway.

Oxidized nucleotide insertion by pol β confounds ligation during base excision repair.

Project description:Oxidative stress in cells can lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species and oxidation of DNA precursors. Oxidized purine nucleotides can be inserted into DNA during replication and repair. The main pathway for correcting oxidized bases in DNA is base excision repair (BER), and in vertebrates DNA polymerase β (pol β) provides gap filling and tailoring functions. Here we report that the DNA ligation step of BER is compromised after pol β insertion of oxidized purine nucleotides into the BER intermediate in vitro. These results suggest the possibility that BER mediated toxic strand breaks are produced in cells under oxidative stress conditions. We observe enhanced cytotoxicity in oxidizing-agent treated pol β expressing mouse fibroblasts, suggesting formation of DNA strand breaks under these treatment conditions. Increased cytotoxicity following MTH1 knockout or treatment with MTH1 inhibitor suggests the oxidation of precursor nucleotides.

Pol β gap filling, DNA ligation and substrate-product channeling during base excision repair opposite oxidized 5-methylcytosine modifications.

Project description:DNA methylation on cytosine in CpG islands generates 5-methylcytosine (5mC), and further modification of 5mC can result in the oxidized variants 5-hydroxymethyl (5hmC), 5-formyl (5fC), and 5-carboxy (5caC). Base excision repair (BER) is crucial for both genome maintenance and active DNA demethylation of modified cytosine products and involves substrate-product channeling from nucleotide insertion by DNA polymerase (pol) β to the subsequent ligation step. Here, we report that, in contrast to the pol β mismatch insertion products (dCTP, dATP, and dTTP), the nicked products after pol β dGTP insertion can be ligated by DNA ligase I or DNA ligase III/XRCC1 complex when a 5mC oxidation modification is present opposite in the template position in vitro. A Pol β K280A mutation, which perturbates the stabilization of these base modifications within the active site, hinders the BER ligases. Moreover, the nicked repair intermediates that mimic pol β mismatch insertion products, i.e., with 3'-preinserted dGMP or dTMP opposite templating 5hmC, 5fC or 5caC, can be efficiently ligated, whereas preinserted 3'-dAMP or dCMP mismatches result in failed ligation reactions. These findings herein contribute to our understanding of the insertion tendencies of pol β opposite different cytosine base forms, the ligation properties of DNA ligase I and DNA ligase III/XRCC1 complex in the context of gapped and nicked damage-containing repair intermediates, and the efficiency and fidelity of substrate channeling during the final steps of BER in situations involving oxidative 5mC base modifications in the template strand.

SNP discovery by mismatch-targeting of Mu transposition.

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent a valuable resource for the mapping of human disease genes and induced mutations in model organisms. SNPs may become the markers of choice also for population ecology and evolutionary studies, but their isolation for non-model organisms with unsequenced genomes is often difficult. Here, we describe a rapid and cost-effective strategy to isolate SNPs that exploits the property of the bacteriophage Mu transposition machinery to target mismatched DNA sites and thereby to effectively detect polymorphic loci. To demonstrate the methodology, we isolated 164 SNPs from the unsequenced genome of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia), a much-studied species in population biology, and we validated 24 of them. The strategy involves standard molecular biology techniques as well as undemanding MuA transposase-catalyzed in vitro transposition reactions, and it is applicable to any organism.

A guardian residue hinders insertion of a Fapy•dGTP analog by modulating the open-closed DNA polymerase transition.

Project description:4,6-Diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy•dG) is an abundant form of oxidative DNA damage that is mutagenic and contributes to the pathogenesis of human disease. When Fapy•dG is in its nucleotide triphosphate form, Fapy•dGTP, it is inefficiently cleansed from the nucleotide pool by the responsible enzyme in Escherichia coli MutT and its mammalian homolog MTH1. Therefore, under oxidative stress conditions, Fapy•dGTP could become a pro-mutagenic substrate for insertion into the genome by DNA polymerases. Here, we evaluated insertion kinetics and high-resolution ternary complex crystal structures of a configurationally stable Fapy•dGTP analog, β-C-Fapy•dGTP, with DNA polymerase β. The crystallographic snapshots and kinetic data indicate that binding of β-C-Fapy•dGTP impedes enzyme closure, thus hindering insertion. The structures reveal that an active site residue, Asp276, positions β-C-Fapy•dGTP so that it distorts the geometry of critical catalytic atoms. Removal of this guardian side chain permits enzyme closure and increases the efficiency of β-C-Fapy•dG insertion opposite dC. These results highlight the stringent requirements necessary to achieve a closed DNA polymerase active site poised for efficient nucleotide incorporation and illustrate how DNA polymerase β has evolved to hinder Fapy•dGTP insertion.

DNA polymerase mu (Pol mu), homologous to TdT, could act as a DNA mutator in eukaryotic cells.

Project description:A novel DNA polymerase has been identified in human cells. Human DNA polymerase mu (Pol mu), consisting of 494 amino acids, has 41% identity to terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT). Human Pol mu, overproduced in Escherichia coli in a soluble form and purified to homogeneity, displays intrinsic terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase activity and a strong preference for activating Mn(2+) ions. Interestingly, unlike TdT, the catalytic efficiency of polymerization carried out by Pol mu was enhanced by the presence of a template strand. Using activating Mg(2+) ions, template-enhanced polymerization was also template-directed, leading to the preferred insertion of complementary nucleotides, although with low discrimination values. In the presence of Mn(2+) ions, template-enhanced polymerization produced a random insertion of nucleotides. Northern-blotting and in situ analysis showed a preferential expression of Pol mu mRNA in peripheral lymphoid tissues. Moreover, a large proportion of the human expressed sequence tags corresponding to Pol mu, present in the databases, derived from germinal center B cells. Therefore, Pol mu is a good candidate to be the mutator polymerase responsible for somatic hyper- mutation of immunoglobulin genes.

In vitro Assay to Measure DNA Polymerase β Nucleotide Insertion Coupled with the DNA Ligation Reaction during Base Excision Repair.

Project description:We previously reported that oxidized nucleotide insertion by DNA polymerase β (pol β) can confound the DNA ligation step during base excision repair (BER) (Çağlayan et al., 2017). Here, we describe a method to investigate pol β nucleotide insertion coupled with DNA ligation, in the same reaction mixture including dGTP or 8-oxo-dGTP, pol β and DNA ligase l. This in vitro assay enables us to measure the products for correct vs. oxidized nucleotide insertion, DNA ligation, and ligation failure, i.e., abortive ligation products, as a function of reaction time. This protocol complements our previous publication and describes an efficient way to analyze activities of BER enzymes and the functional interaction between pol β and DNA ligase I in vitro.

Human Pol ?-dependent replication errors and the influence of mismatch repair on their correction.

Project description:Mutations in human DNA polymerase (Pol) ?, one of three eukaryotic Pols required for DNA replication, have recently been found associated with an ultramutator phenotype in tumors from somatic colorectal and endometrial cancers and in a familial colorectal cancer. Possibly, Pol ? mutations reduce the accuracy of DNA synthesis, thereby increasing the mutational burden and contributing to tumor development. To test this possibility in vivo, we characterized an active site mutant allele of human Pol ? that exhibits a strong mutator phenotype in vitro when the proofreading exonuclease activity of the enzyme is inactive. This mutant has a strong bias toward mispairs opposite template pyrimidine bases, particularly T • dTTP mispairs. Expression of mutant Pol ? in human cells lacking functional mismatch repair caused an increase in mutation rate primarily due to T • dTTP mispairs. Functional mismatch repair eliminated the increased mutagenesis. The results indicate that the mutant Pol ? causes replication errors in vivo, and is at least partially dominant over the endogenous, wild type Pol ?. Since tumors from familial and somatic colorectal patients arise with Pol ? mutations in a single allele, are microsatellite stable and have a large increase in base pair substitutions, our data are consistent with a Pol ? mutation requiring additional factors to promote tumor development.
