Abstract
Sulfolobus islandicus codes for four DNA polymerases: three are of the B-family (Dpo1, Dpo2, and Dpo3), and one is of the Y-family (Dpo4). Western analysis revealed that among the four polymerases, only Dpo2 exhibited DNA damage-inducible expression. To investigate how these DNA polymerases could contribute to DNA damage tolerance in S. islandicus, we conducted genetic analysis of their encoding genes in this archaeon. Plasmid-borne gene expression revealed that Dpo2 increases cell survival upon DNA damage at the expense of mutagenesis. Gene deletion studies showed although dpo1 is essential, the remaining three genes are dispensable. Furthermore, although Dpo4 functions in housekeeping translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), Dpo2, a B-family DNA polymerase once predicted to be inactive, functions as a damage-inducible TLS enzyme solely responsible for targeted mutagenesis, facilitating GC to AT/TA conversions in the process. Together, our data indicate that Dpo2 is the main DNA polymerase responsible for DNA damage tolerance and is the primary source of targeted mutagenesis. Given that crenarchaea encoding a Dpo2 also have a low-GC composition genome, the Dpo2-dependent DNA repair pathway may be conserved in this archaeal lineage.

Abstract
Strand displacement DNA synthesis is essential for DNA replication. Gp90, the sole DNA polymerase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage 1, can bypass multiply DNA lesions. However, whether it can perform strand displacement synthesis is still unknown. In this work, we found that gp90 exo- could perform strand displacement synthesis, albeit its activity and processivity were lower than those of primer extension. Gp90 exo- itself could not unwind Y-shaped or fork DNA. Tail and gap at DNA fork were necessary for efficient synthesis. High GC content obviously inhibited strand displacement synthesis. Consecutive GC sequence at the entrance of fork showed more inhibition effect on DNA synthesis than that in the downstream DNA fork. The fraction of productive polymerase and DNA complex (A values) was higher for fork than gap; while their average extension rates (kp values) were similar. However, both A and kp values were lower than those for the primer/template (P/T) substrate. The binding of gp90 exo- to fork was tighter than P/T or gap in the absence of dATP. In the presence of dATP to form ternary complex, the binding affinity of gp90 exo- to P/T or gap was increased compared with that in the binary complex. Abasic site, 8-oxoG, and O6-MeG inhibited and even blocked strand displacement synthesis. This work shows that gp90 exo- could perform strand displacement DNA synthesis at DNA fork, discovering the presence of new functions of PaP1 DNA polymerase in DNA replication and propagation of PaP1.

Abstract
rNTPs are structurally similar to dNTPs, but their concentrations are much higher than those of dNTPs in cells. rNTPs in solutions or rNMP at the primer terminus or embedded in template always inhibit or block DNA replication, due to the reduced Mg2+ apparent concentration, competition of rNTPs with dNTPs, and the extra repulsive interaction of rNTP or rNMP with polymerase active site. In this work, unexpectedly, we found rNTPs can promote T7 DNA replication with the maximal promotion at rNTPs/dNTPs concentration ratio of 20. This promotion was not due to the optimized Mg2+ apparent concentration or the direct incorporation of extra rNMPs into DNA. This promotion was dependent on the concentrations and types of rNTPs. Kinetic analysis showed that this promotion was originated from the increased fraction of polymerase-DNA productive complex and the accelerated DNA polymerization. Further evidence showed that more polymerase-DNA complex was formed and their binding affinity was also enhanced in the presence of extra rNTPs. Moreover, this promotion in T7 DNA replication also accelerated the lysis of T7-infected host Escherichia coli. This work discovered that rNTPs could promote DNA replication, completely different from the traditional concept that rNTPs always inhibit DNA replication.

Abstract
N6-methyladenine (6mA), a newly identified epigenetic modification, plays important roles in regulation of various biological processes. However, the effect of 6mA on DNA replication has been little addressed. In this work, we investigated how 6mA affected DNA replication by DNA polymerase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phage PaP1 (gp90 exo-). The presence of 6mA, as well as its intermediate hypoxanthine (Hyp), inhibited DNA replication by gp90 exo-. The 6mA reduced dTTP incorporation efficiency by 10-fold and inhibited next-base extension efficiency by 100-fold. Differently, dCTP was preferentially incorporated opposite Hyp among four dNTPs. Gp90 exo- reduced the extension priority beyond the 6mA:T pair rather than the 6mA:C mispair and preferred to extend beyond Hyp:C rather than the Hyp:T pair. Incorporation of dTTP opposite 6mA and dCTP opposite Hyp showed fast burst phases. The burst rate and burst amplitude were both reduced for 6mA compared with unmodified A. Moreover, the total incorporation efficiency ( kpol/ Kd,dNTP) was decreased for dTTP incorporation opposite 6mA and dCTP incorporation opposite Hyp compared with dTTP incorporation opposite A. 6mA reduced the incorporation rate ( kpol), and Hyp increased the dissociation constant ( Kd,dNTP). However, 6mA or Hyp on template did not affect the binding of DNA polymerase to DNA in binary or ternary complexes. This work provides new insight into the inhibited effects of epigenetic modification of 6mA on DNA replication in PaP1.

Abstract
N6-methyladenine (6mA), as a newly reported epigenetic marker, plays significant roles in regulation of various biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the effect of 6mA on human DNA replication remain elusive. In this work, we used Y-family human DNA polymerase η as a model to investigate the kinetics of bypass of 6mA by hPol η. We found 6mA and its intermediate hypoxanthine (I) on template partially inhibited DNA replication by hPol η. dTMP incorporation opposite 6mA and dCMP incorporation opposite I can be considered as correct incorporation. However, both 6mA and I reduced correct incorporation efficiency, next-base extension efficiency, and the priority in extension beyond correct base pair. Both dTMP incorporation opposite 6mA and dCTP opposite I showed fast burst phases. However, 6mA and I reduced the burst incorporation rates (kpol) and increased the dissociation constant (Kd,dNTP), compared with that of dTMP incorporation opposite unmodified A. Biophysical binding assays revealed that both 6mA and I on template reduced the binding affinity of hPol η to DNA in binary or ternary complex compared with unmodified A. All the results explain the inhibition effects of 6mA and I on DNA replication by hPol η, providing new insight in the effects of epigenetically modified 6mA on human DNA replication.

Abstract
O6-Methylguanine (O6-MeG) is highly mutagenic and is commonly found in DNA exposed to methylating agents, generally leads to G:C to A:T mutagenesis. To study DNA replication encountering O6-MeG by the DNA polymerase (gp90) of P. aeruginosa phage PaP1, we analyzed steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetics of nucleotide incorporation opposite O6-MeG by gp90 exo-. O6-MeG partially inhibited full-length extension by gp90 exo-. O6-MeG greatly reduces dNTP incorporation efficiency, resulting in 67-fold preferential error-prone incorporation of dTTP than dCTP. Gp90 exo- extends beyond T:O6-MeG 2-fold more efficiently than C:O6-MeG. Incorporation of dCTP opposite G and incorporation of dCTP or dTTP opposite O6-MeG show fast burst phases. The pre-steady-state incorporation efficiency (kpol/Kd,dNTP) is decreased in the order of dCTP:G>dTTP:O6-MeG>dCTP:O6-MeG. The presence of O6-MeG at template does not affect the binding affinity of polymerase to DNA but it weakened their binding in the presence of dCTP and Mg2+. Misincorporation of dTTP opposite O6-MeG further weakens the binding affinity of polymerase to DNA. The priority of dTTP incorporation opposite O6-MeG is originated from the fact that dTTP can induce a faster conformational change step and a faster chemical step than dCTP. This study reveals that gp90 bypasses O6-MeG in an error-prone manner and provides further understanding in DNA replication encountering mutagenic alkylation DNA damage for P. aeruginosa phage PaP1.

Abstract
As one of the most common forms of oxidative DNA damage, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG) generally leads to G:C to T:A mutagenesis. To study DNA replication encountering 8-oxoG by the sole DNA polymerase (Gp90) of Pseudomonasaeruginosa phage PaP1, we performed steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic analyses of nucleotide incorporation opposite 8-oxoG by Gp90 D234A that lacks exonuclease activities on ssDNA and dsDNA substrates. Gp90 D234A could bypass 8-oxoG in an error-free manner, preferentially incorporate dCTP opposite 8-oxoG, and yield similar misincorporation frequency to unmodified G. Gp90 D234A could extend beyond C:8-oxoG or A:8-oxoG base pairs with the same efficiency. dCTP incorporation opposite G and dCTP or dATP incorporation opposite 8-oxoG showed fast burst phases. The burst of incorporation efficiency (kpol/Kd,dNTP) is decreased as dCTP:G > dCTP:8-oxoG > dATP:8-oxoG. The presence of 8-oxoG in DNA does not affect its binding to Gp90 D234A in a binary complex but it does affect it in a ternary complex with dNTP and Mg2+, and dATP misincorporation opposite 8-oxoG further weakens the binding of Gp90 D234A to DNA. This study reveals Gp90 D234A can bypass 8-oxoG in an error-free manner, providing further understanding in DNA replication encountering oxidation lesion for P.aeruginosa phage PaP1.

Abstract
Environmental mutagens cause DNA damage that disturbs replication and produces mutations, leading to cancer and other diseases. We discuss mechanisms of mutagenesis resulting from DNA damage, from the level of DNA replication by a single polymerase to the complex DNA replisome of some typical model organisms (including bacteriophage T7, T4, Sulfolobus solfataricus, Escherichia coli, yeast and human). For a single DNA polymerase, DNA damage can affect replication in three major ways: reducing replication fidelity, causing frameshift mutations, and blocking replication. For the DNA replisome, protein interactions and the functions of accessory proteins can yield rather different results even with a single DNA polymerase. The mechanism of mutation during replication performed by the DNA replisome is a long-standing question. Using new methods and techniques, the replisomes of certain organisms and human cell extracts can now be investigated with regard to the bypass of DNA damage. In this review, we consider the molecular mechanism of mutagenesis resulting from DNA damage in replication at the levels of single DNA polymerases and complex DNA replisomes, including translesion DNA synthesis.

Kinetic analysis of bypass of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine by the catalytic core of yeast DNA polymerase η. Biochimie 2015; 121:161-9.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species damage DNA bases to produce 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG), which results in G:C to T:A transversions. To better understand mechanisms of dNTP incorporation opposite 8-oxoG, we performed pre-steady-state kinetic analysis of nucleotide incorporation using the catalytic core of yeast DNA polymerase η (Pol ηcore, residues 1-513) instead of full-length Pol η, eliminating potential effects of the C-terminal C2H2 sequence motif on dNTP incorporation. Kinetic analysis showed that Pol ηcore preferred to incorporate dCTP opposite 8-oxoG. A lack of a pre-steady-state kinetic burst for Pol ηcore suggested that dCTP incorporation is slower than the dissociation of the polymerase from DNA. The extension products beyond the 8-oxoG were determined by LC-MS/MS and showed that 57% of the products corresponded to the correct incorporation (C) and 43% corresponded to dATP misincorporation. More dATP was incorporated opposite 8-oxoG with a mixture of dNTPs than predicted using only a single dNTP. The kinetic analysis of 8-oxoG bypass by yeast DNA Pol ηcore provides further understanding of the mechanism of mutation at this oxidation lesion with yeast DNA polymerase η.

Abstract
To bypass DNA damage, cells have Y-Family DNA polymerases (DNAPs). One Y-Family-class includes DNAP κ and DNAP IV, which accurately insert dCTP opposite N(2)-dG adducts, including from the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BP). Another class includes DNAP η and DNAP V, which insert accurately opposite UV-damage, but inaccurately opposite BP-N(2)-dG. To investigate structural differences between Y-Family-classes, regions are swapped between DNAP IV (a κ/IV-class-member) and Dpo4 (a η/V-class-member); the kinetic consequences are evaluated via primer-extension studies with a BP-N(2)-dG-containing template. Four key structural elements are revealed. (1) Y-Family DNAPs have discreet non-covalent contacts between their little finger-domain (LF-Domain) and their catalytic core-domain (CC-Domain), which we call "non-covalent bridges" (NCBs). Arg37 and Arg38 in DNAP IV's CC-Domain near the active site form a non-covalent bridge (AS-NCB) by interacting with Glu251 and Asp252, respectively, in DNAP IV's LF-Domain. Without these interactions dATP/dGTP/dTTP misinsertions increase. DNAP IV's AS-NCB suppresses misinsertions better than Dpo4's equivalent AS-NCB. (2) DNAP IV also suppresses dATP/dGTP/dTTP misinsertions via a second non-covalent bridge, which is ∼8Å from the active site (Distal-NCB). Dpo4 has no Distal-NCB, rendering it inferior at dATP/dGTP/dTTP suppression. (3) dCTP insertion is facilitated by the larger minor groove opening near the active site in DNAP IV versus Dpo4, which is sensible given that Watson/Crick-like [dCTP:BP-N(2)-dG] pairing requires the BP-moiety to be in the minor groove. (4) Compared to Dpo4, DNAP IV has a smaller major groove opening, which suppresses dGTP misinsertion, implying BP-N(2)-dG bulk in the major groove during Hoogsteen syn-adduct-dG:dGTP pairing. In summary, DNAP IV has a large minor groove opening to enhance dCTP insertion, a plugged major groove opening to suppress dGTP misinsertion, and two non-covalent bridges (near and distal to the active site) to suppress dATP/dGTP/dTTP misinsertions; collectively these four structural features enhance DNAP IV's dNTP insertion fidelity opposite a BP-N(2)-dG adduct compared to Dpo4.

Abstract
Genomic DNA is continually subjected to a number of chemical insults that result in the formation of modified nucleotides--termed as DNA lesions. The N(2) -atom of deoxyguanosine is particularly reactive and a number of chemicals react at this site to form different kinds of DNA adducts. The N(2) -deoxyguanosine adducts perturb different genomic processes and are particularly deleterious for DNA replication as they have a strong tendency to inhibit replicative DNA polymerases. Many organisms possess specialized dPols--generally classified in the Y-family--that serves to rescue replication stalled at N(2) -dG and other adducts. A review of minor groove N(2) -adducts and the known strategies utilized by Y-family dPols to replicate past these lesions will be presented here.

Abstract
Y-family DNA polymerases are specialized to copy damaged DNA, and are associated with increased mutagenesis, owing to their low fidelity. It is believed that the mechanism of nucleotide selection by Y-family DNA polymerases involves conformational changes preceding nucleotidyl transfer, but there is limited experimental evidence for such structural changes. In particular, nucleotide-induced conformational changes in bacterial or eukaryotic Y-family DNA polymerases have, to date, not been extensively characterized. Using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, we demonstrate here that the Escherichia coli Y-family DNA polymerase DinB and its human ortholog DNA polymerase κ undergo a conserved nucleotide-induced conformational change in the presence of undamaged DNA and the correct incoming nucleotide. Notably, this holds true for damaged DNA containing N(2) -furfuryl-deoxyguanosine, which is efficiently copied by these two polymerases, but not for damaged DNA containing the major groove modification O(6) -methyl-deoxyguanosine, which is a poor substrate. Our observations suggest that DinB and DNA polymerase κ utilize a common mechanism for nucleotide selection involving a conserved prechemical conformational transition promoted by the correct nucleotide and only preferred DNA substrates.

Abstract
The reduction in the efficacy of therapeutic antibiotics represents a global problem of increasing intensity and concern. Nitrofuran antibiotics act primarily through the formation of covalent adducts at the N(2) atom of the deoxyguanosine nucleotide in genomic DNA. These adducts inhibit replicative DNA polymerases (dPols), leading to the death of the prokaryote. N(2)-furfuryl-deoxyguanosine (fdG) represents a stable structural analog of the nitrofuran-induced adducts. Unlike other known dPols, DNA polymerase IV (PolIV) from E. coli can bypass the fdG adduct accurately with high catalytic efficiency. This property of PolIV is central to its role in reducing the sensitivity of E. coli toward nitrofuran antibiotics such as nitrofurazone (NFZ). We present the mechanism used by PolIV to bypass NFZ-induced adducts and thus improve viability of E. coli in the presence of NFZ. Our results can be used to develop specific inhibitors of PolIV that may potentiate the activity of nitrofuran antibiotics.

Abstract
![]()
The
kinetic mechanisms by which DNA polymerases catalyze DNA replication
and repair have long been areas of active research. Recently discovered
Y-family DNA polymerases catalyze the bypass of damaged DNA bases
that would otherwise block replicative DNA polymerases and stall replication
forks. Unlike DNA polymerases from the five other families, the Y-family
DNA polymerases have flexible, solvent-accessible active sites that
are able to tolerate various types of damaged template bases and allow
for efficient lesion bypass. Their promiscuous active sites, however,
also lead to fidelities that are much lower than those observed for
other DNA polymerases and give rise to interesting mechanistic properties.
Additionally, the Y-family DNA polymerases have several other unique
structural features and undergo a set of conformational changes during
substrate binding and catalysis different from those observed for
replicative DNA polymerases. In recent years, pre-steady-state kinetic
methods have been extensively employed to reveal a wealth of information
about the catalytic properties of these fascinating noncanonical DNA
polymerases. Here, we review many of the recent findings on the kinetic
mechanisms of DNA polymerization with undamaged and damaged DNA substrates
by the Y-family DNA polymerases, and the conformational dynamics employed
by these error-prone enzymes during catalysis.

Abstract
![]()
Numerous kinetic, structural, and
theoretical studies have established
that DNA polymerases adjust their domain structures to enclose nucleotides
in their active sites and then rearrange critical active site residues
and substrates for catalysis, with the latter conformational change
acting to kinetically limit the correct nucleotide incorporation rate.
Additionally, structural studies have revealed a large conformational
change between the apoprotein and the DNA–protein binary state
for Y-family DNA polymerases. In previous studies [Xu, C., Maxwell,
B. A., Brown, J. A., Zhang, L., and Suo, Z. (2009) PLoS Biol.7, e1000225], a real-time Förster resonance
energy transfer (FRET) method was developed to monitor the global
conformational transitions of DNA polymerase IV from Sulfolobus
solfataricus (Dpo4), a prototype Y-family enzyme, during
nucleotide binding and incorporation by measuring changes in distance
between locations on the enzyme and the DNA substrate. To elucidate
further details of the conformational transitions of Dpo4 during substrate
binding and catalysis, in this study, the real-time FRET technique
was used to monitor changes in distance between various pairs of locations
in the protein itself. In addition to providing new insight into the
conformational changes as revealed in previous studies, the results
here show that the previously described conformational change between
the apo and DNA-bound states of Dpo4 occurs in a mechanistic step
distinct from initial formation or dissociation of the binary complex
of Dpo4 and DNA.

Abstract
To synthesize past DNA damaged by chemicals or radiation, cells have lesion bypass DNA polymerases (DNAPs), most of which are in the Y-Family. One class of Y-Family DNAPs includes DNAP η in eukaryotes and DNAP V in bacteria, which have low fidelity when replicating undamaged DNA. In Escherchia coli, DNAP V is carefully regulated to insure it is active for lesion bypass only, and one mode of regulation involves interaction of the polymerase subunit (UmuC) and two regulatory subunits (UmuD') with a RecA-filament bound to ss-DNA. Taking a docking approach, ∼150,000 unique orientations involving UmuC, UmuD' and RecA were evaluated to generate models, one of which was judged best able to rationalize the following published findings. (1) In the UmuD'(2)C/RecA-filament model, R64-UmuC interacts with S117-RecA, which is known to be at the UmuC/RecA interface. (2) At the model's UmuC/RecA interface, UmuC has three basic amino acids (K59/R63/R64) that anchor it to RecA. No other Y-Family DNAP has three basic amino acids clustered in this region, making it a plausible site for UmuC to form its unique interaction with RecA. (3) In the model, residues N32/N33/D34 of UmuC form a second interface with RecA, which is consistent with published findings. (4) Active UmuD' is generated when 24 amino acids in the N-terminal tail of UmuD are proteolyzed, which occurs when UmuD(2)C binds the RecA-filament. When UmuD is included in an UmuD(2)C/RecA-filament model, plausible UmuD/RecA contacts guide the UmuD cleavage site (C24/G25) into the UmuD proteolysis active site (S60/K97). One contact involves E11-UmuD interacting with R243-RecA, where the latter is known to be important for UmuD cleavage. (5) The UmuD(2)C/RecA-filament model rationalizes published findings that at least some UmuD-to-UmuD' cleavage occurs intermolecularly. (6) Active DNAP V is known to be the heterotetramer UmuD'(2)C/RecA, a model of which can be generated by a simple rearrangement of the RecA monomer at the 3'-end of the RecA-filament. The rearranged UmuD'(2)C/RecA model rationalizes published findings about UmuD' residues in proximity to RecA. In summary, docking and molecular simulations are used to develop an UmuD'(2)C/RecA model, whose structure rationalizes much of the known properties of the active form of DNA polymerase V.

Abstract
Archaeal and eukaryotic B-family DNA polymerases (pols) mainly replicate chromosomal DNA but stall at lesions, which are often bypassed with Y-family pols. In this study, a B-family pol Vent (exo(-)) from the euryarchaeon Thermococcus litoralis was studied with three types of DNA lesions-N(2)-alkylG, O(6)-alkylG, and an abasic (AP) site-in comparison with a model Y-family pol Dpo4 from Sulfolobus solfataricus, to better understand the effects of various DNA modifications on binding, bypass efficiency, and fidelity of pols. Vent (exo(-)) readily bypassed N(2)-methyl(Me)G and O(6)-MeG, but was strongly blocked at O(6)-benzyl(Bz)G and N(2)-BzG, whereas Dpo4 efficiently bypassed N(2)-MeG and N(2)-BzG and partially bypassed O(6)-MeG and O(6)-BzG. Vent (exo(-)) bypassed an AP site to an extent greater than Dpo4, corresponding with steady-state kinetic data. Vent (exo(-)) showed ~110-, 180-, and 300-fold decreases in catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) for nucleotide insertion opposite an AP site, N(2)-MeG, and O(6)-MeG but ~1800- and 5000-fold decreases opposite O(6)-BzG and N(2)-BzG, respectively, as compared to G, whereas Dpo4 showed little or only ~13-fold decreases opposite N(2)-MeG and N(2)-BzG but ~260-370-fold decreases opposite O(6)-MeG, O(6)-BzG, and the AP site. Vent (exo(-)) preferentially misinserted G opposite N(2)-MeG, T opposite O(6)-MeG, and A opposite an AP site and N(2)-BzG, while Dpo4 favored correct C insertion opposite those lesions. Vent (exo(-)) and Dpo4 both bound modified DNAs with affinities similar to unmodified DNA. Our results indicate that Vent (exo(-)) is as or more efficient as Dpo4 in synthesis opposite O(6)-MeG and AP lesions, whereas Dpo4 is much or more efficient opposite (only) N(2)-alkylGs than Vent (exo(-)), irrespective of DNA-binding affinity. Our data also suggest that Vent (exo(-)) accepts nonbulky DNA lesions (e.g., N(2)- or O(6)-MeG and an AP site) as manageable substrates despite causing error-prone synthesis, whereas Dpo4 strongly favors minor-groove N(2)-alkylG lesions over major-groove or noninstructive lesions.

Abstract
Thermoacidophilic archaea comprise one of the major classes of extremophiles. Most belong to the family Sulfolobales within the phylum Crenarchaeota. They are of applied interest as sources of hyperstable enzymes, for biomining of base and precious metals, and for evolutionary studies because of their use of eukaryotic-like subcellular mechanisms. Genetic methods are available for several species particularly Sulfolobus solfataricus. This organism has a considerable number of methods available for the construction of novel cell lines with unique functions. This chapter presents recent developments in the use of homologous recombination and linear DNA for the engineering of site-specific changes in the genome of S. solfataricus.

Abstract
DNA adducts, which block replicative DNA polymerases (DNAPs), are often bypassed by lesion-bypass DNAPs, which are mostly in the Y-Family. Y-Family DNAPs can do non-mutagenic or mutagenic dNTP insertion, and understanding this difference is important, because mutations transform normal into tumorigenic cells. Y-Family DNAP architecture that dictates mechanism, as revealed in structural and modeling studies, is considered. Steps from adduct blockage of replicative DNAPs, to bypass by a lesion-bypass DNAP, to resumption of synthesis by a replicative DNAP are described. Catalytic steps and protein conformational changes are considered. One adduct is analyzed in greater detail: the major benzo[a]pyrene adduct (B[a]P-N2-dG), which is bypassed non-mutagenically (dCTP insertion) by Y-family DNAPs in the IV/κ-class and mutagenically (dATP insertion) by V/η-class Y-Family DNAPs. Important architectural differences between IV/κ-class versus V/η-class DNAPs are discussed, including insights gained by analyzing ~400 sequences each for bacterial DNAPs IV and V, along with sequences from eukaryotic DNAPs kappa, eta and iota. The little finger domains of Y-Family DNAPs do not show sequence conservation; however, their structures are remarkably similar due to the presence of a core of hydrophobic amino acids, whose exact identity is less important than the hydrophobic amino acid spacing.
