FunctionDPOLB_HUMAN Repair polymerase that plays a key role in base-excision repair. Has 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity that removes the 5' sugar phosphate and also acts as a DNA polymerase that adds one nucleotide to the 3' end of the arising single-nucleotide gap. Conducts 'gap-filling' DNA synthesis in a stepwise distributive fashion rather than in a processive fashion as for other DNA polymerases.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedN6-(2-deoxy-alpha,beta-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamido-pyrimidine (Fapy*dG) is formed from a common intermediate and in comparable amounts to the well-studied mutagenic DNA lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OxodGuo). Fapy*dG preferentially gives rise to G --> T transversions and G --> A transitions. However, the molecular basis by which Fapy*dG is processed by DNA polymerases during this mutagenic process remains poorly understood. To address this we investigated how DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta), a model mammalian polymerase, bypasses a templating Fapy*dG, inserts Fapy*dGTP, and extends from Fapy*dG at the primer terminus. When Fapy*dG is present in the template, Pol beta incorporates TMP less efficiently than either dCMP or dAMP. Kinetic analysis revealed that Fapy*dGTP is a poor substrate but is incorporated approximately 3-times more efficiently opposite dA than dC. Extension from Fapy*dG at the 3'-terminus of a nascent primer is inefficient due to the primer terminus being poorly positioned for catalysis. Together these data indicate that mutagenic bypass of Fapy*dG is likely to be the source of the mutagenic effects of the lesion and not Fapy*dGTP. These experiments increase our understanding of the promutagenic effects of Fapy*dG.
