Abstract
DNA polymerase ζ (Pol ζ) is a specialized Pol that is involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), in particular, in the extension of primer DNA after bypassing DNA lesions. Previously, we established human cells that express a variant form of Pol ζ with an amino acid change of leucine 2618 to methionine (L2618M) in the catalytic subunit REV3L (DNA Repair, 45, 34-43, 2016). This amino acid change made the cells more sensitive to the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE). In this study, we embedded BPDE-N2-guanine at a defined position in the supF gene on the shuttle plasmid and introduced it to REV3 L2618M cells or the wild-type (WT) cells to examine how far Pol ζ L2618M extends the primer DNA after bypassing the lesion. The adduct induced primarily G to T and G to C at the adducted site in both cell lines, but generated additional sequence changes such as base substitutions, deletions and additions in the extension patch much more often in REV3 L2618M cells than in the WT cells. Mutations in the extension patch in REV3 L2618M cells occurred most often within 10 bps from the adducted site. Then, the number of mutations gradually decreased and no mutations were observed between 30 and 40 bps from the lesion. We concluded that human Pol ζ L2618M and perhaps WT Pol ζ extend the primer DNA up to approximately 30 bps from the lesion in vivo. The possibility of involvement of Pol ζ L2618M in the insertion step of TLS is discussed.

Site-specific proteolytic cleavage prevents ubiquitination and degradation of human REV3L, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ζ. Nucleic Acids Res 2020; 48:3619-3637. [PMID: 32064513 PMCID: PMC7144948 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaa096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2018] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
REV3L, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ζ (Pol ζ), is indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis, which protects cells from deleterious DNA lesions resulting from various intrinsic and environmental sources. However, REV3L lacks a proofreading exonuclease activity and consequently bypasses DNA lesions at the expense of increased mutations, which poses a severe threat to genome stability. Here we report a site-specific proteolytic event of human REV3L. We show that REV3L is cleaved by a threonine aspartase, Taspase1 (TASP1), to generate an N-terminal 70-kDa fragment (N70) and a polypeptide carrying the C-terminal polymerase catalytic domain in human cells. Strikingly, such a post-translational cleavage event plays a vital role in controlling REV3L stability by preventing ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation of REV3L. Indicative of the biological importance of the above REV3L post-translational processing, cellular responses to UV and cisplatin-induced DNA lesions are markedly impaired in human HCT116 cell derivatives bearing defined point mutations in the endogenous REV3L gene that compromise REV3L cleavage. These findings establish a new paradigm in modulating the abundance of REV3L through site-specific proteolysis in human cells.

Abstract
7H-Dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC), a local and systemic carcinogen in animal studies, is a common environmental pollutant. It generally co-occurs in a variety of organic complex mixtures derived from incomplete combustion of organic matter. Despite high lipophilicity, DBC is more water-soluble and faster metabolized than the homocyclic aromatics. Moreover, greater polarity, high bioaccumulation potential, and persistence in the environment may imply DBC's higher biological significance and impact on human health, even at lower concentrations. The biotransformation pathways of DBC are incompletely known and the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite(s) are not clearly identified as yet. Structure-biological studies suggest two ways of activation: at the ring carbon atoms and at the pyrrole nitrogen. It is supposed that the particular pathway of biotransformation might be connected with the tissue/organ specificity of DBC. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of enzymes plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of DBC; though, the one-electron activation and the aldo-keto reductase-catalyzed oxidation are also involved in metabolic activation. Additionally, DBC can be photoactivated even at physiologically relevant doses of UVA light due to the extended aromatic ring system resulting in strong genotoxicity and oxidative stress. The goal of this review is to summarize current knowledge on mechanisms of DBC activation and possible implications for toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity.

Abstract
Here, we survey the diverse functions of DNA polymerase ζ (pol ζ) in eukaryotes. In mammalian cells, REV3L (3130 residues) is the largest catalytic subunit of the DNA polymerases. The orthologous subunit in yeast is Rev3p. Pol ζ also includes REV7 subunits (encoded by Rev7 in yeast and MAD2L2 in mammalian cells) and two subunits shared with the replicative DNA polymerase, pol δ. Pol ζ is used in response to circumstances that stall DNA replication forks in both yeast and mammalian cells. The best-examined situation is translesion synthesis at sites of covalent DNA lesions such as UV radiation-induced photoproducts. We also highlight recent evidence that uncovers various roles of pol ζ that extend beyond translesion synthesis. For instance, pol ζ is also employed when the replisome operates sub-optimally or at difficult-to-replicate DNA sequences. Pol ζ also participates in repair by microhomology mediated break-induced replication. A rev3 deletion is tolerated in yeast but Rev3l disruption results in embryonic lethality in mice. Inactivation of mammalian Rev3l results in genomic instability and invokes cell death and senescence programs. Targeting of pol ζ function may be a useful strategy in cancer therapy, although chromosomal instability associated with pol ζ deficiency must be considered.

APIM-Mediated REV3L⁻PCNA Interaction Important for Error Free TLS Over UV-Induced DNA Lesions in Human Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 20:ijms20010100.

Abstract
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is essential for the organization of DNA replication and the bypass of DNA lesions via translesion synthesis (TLS). TLS is mediated by specialized DNA polymerases, which all interact, directly or indirectly, with PCNA. How interactions between the TLS polymerases and PCNA affects TLS specificity and/or coordination is not fully understood. Here we show that the catalytic subunit of the essential mammalian TLS polymerase POLζ, REV3L, contains a functional AlkB homolog 2 PCNA interacting motif, APIM. APIM from REV3L fused to YFP, and full-length REV3L-YFP colocalizes with PCNA in replication foci. Colocalization of REV3L-YFP with PCNA is strongly reduced when an APIM-CFP construct is overexpressed. We also found that overexpression of full-length REV3L with mutated APIM leads to significantly altered mutation frequencies and mutation spectra, when compared to overexpression of full-length REV3L wild-type (WT) protein in multiple cell lines. Altogether, these data suggest that APIM is a functional PCNA-interacting motif in REV3L, and that the APIM-mediated PCNA interaction is important for the function and specificity of POLζ in TLS. Finally, a PCNA-targeting cell-penetrating peptide, containing APIM, reduced the mutation frequencies and changed the mutation spectra in several cell lines, suggesting that efficient TLS requires coordination mediated by interactions with PCNA.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) products are relatively stable and abundant metabolites, which accumulate in tissues of mammals with aging, being able to modify all cellular nucleophiles, creating protein and DNA adducts including crosslinks. Here, we used cells and mice deficient in the ERCC1-XPF endonuclease required for nucleotide excision repair and the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks to ask if specifically LPO-induced DNA damage contributes to loss of cell and tissue homeostasis. Ercc1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts were more sensitive than wild-type (WT) cells to the LPO products: 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), crotonaldehyde and malondialdehyde. ERCC1-XPF hypomorphic mice were hypersensitive to CCl4 and a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, two potent inducers of endogenous LPO. To gain insight into the mechanism of how LPO influences DNA repair-deficient cells, we measured the impact of the major endogenous LPO product, HNE, on WT and Ercc1-/- cells. HNE inhibited proliferation, stimulated ROS and LPO formation, induced DNA base damage, strand breaks, error-prone translesion DNA synthesis and cellular senescence much more potently in Ercc1-/- cells than in DNA repair-competent control cells. HNE also deregulated base excision repair and energy production pathways. Our observations that ERCC1-deficient cells and mice are hypersensitive to LPO implicates LPO-induced DNA damage in contributing to cellular demise and tissue degeneration, notably even when the source of LPO is dietary polyunsaturated fats.

Abstract
Mice harboring DNA polymerase ζ–defective keratinocytes are shown to have a defect in wound healing and a striking p53-dependent migration of melanocytes to the skin following UV radiation or wounding. DNA polymerase ζ (pol ζ) is well established as a specialized enzyme important for DNA damage tolerance, facilitating DNA synthesis past lesions caused by radiation or chemical damage. We report that disruption of Rev3l (encoding the catalytic subunit of pol ζ) in mouse epidermis leads to a defect in proliferation that impairs cutaneous wound healing. A striking increase in epidermal skin pigmentation accompanied both wound healing and UV irradiation in these mice. This was a consequence of stress-induced migration of Rev3l-proficient melanocytes to the Rev3l-defective epidermis. We found that this pigmentation corresponded with p53 activation in keratinocytes and was absent in p53-negative areas of the epidermis. Expression of the kit ligand (Kitl) gene, a p53-controlled mediator of keratinocyte to melanocyte signaling, was enhanced during wound healing or following UV irradiation. This study extends the function of pol ζ to the process of proliferation during wound healing. Rev3l-deficient epidermis may be a useful mouse model system for examining communication between damaged keratinocytes and melanocytes, including signaling relevant to human disease.

Abstract
In regulatory genetic toxicology, it is an axiom that there is no threshold for genotoxicity of chemicals, such that genotoxic chemicals may impose carcinogenic risk on humans even at very low doses. This paradigm is counterintuitive, however, because humans possess a number of self-defense mechanisms that may suppress the genotoxicity at these low doses and therefore manifest a practical threshold. DNA polymerase zeta (Pol ζ) is a specialized Pol that plays an important role in DNA synthesis across DNA damage, thereby modulating cell survival and genotoxicity. In this study, we compared the sensitivity of three types of human cells: D2781N, L2618M, and their wild-type (WT) cells, to the low dose effects of genotoxicity of the oxidizing agents, potassium bromate (KBrO3) and sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7). D2781N cells express a variant form of Pol ζ, whose activity is weaker than that of the WT enzyme. L2618M cells express another variant form of Pol ζ, whose fidelity of DNA replication is lower than that of the WT enzyme. D2781N exhibited the highest sensitivity for TK gene mutation and micronucleus (MN) formation and displayed the lowest practical threshold for MN induction by KBrO3. In contrast, L2618M exhibited the lowest practical threshold for sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) induction by both chemicals. These results suggest that Pol ζ mutations have significant impacts on practical thresholds of genotoxicity; the factors affecting the practical threshold can differ depending on the endpoint of genotoxicity. Roles of the variant forms of Pol ζ in genotoxicity by the oxidizing agents are discussed.

Abstract
DNA polymerase kappa (Polk) is a specialized DNA polymerase involved in translesion DNA synthesis. To understand the protective roles against genotoxins in vivo, we established inactivated Polk knock-in gpt delta (inactivated Polk KI) mice that possessed reporter genes for mutations and expressed inactive Polk. In this study, we examined genotoxicity of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) to determine whether Polk actually suppressed BP-induced genotoxicity as predicted by biochemistry and in vitro cell culture studies. Seven-week-old inactivated Polk KI and wild-type (WT) mice were treated with BP at doses of 5, 15, or 50 mg/(kg·day) for three consecutive days by intragastric gavage, and mutations in the colon and micronucleus formation in the peripheral blood were examined. Surprisingly, no differences were observed in the frequencies of mutations and micronucleus formation at 5 or 50 mg/kg doses. Inactivated Polk KI mice exhibited approximately two times higher gpt mutant frequency than did WT mice only at the 15 mg/kg dose. The frequency of micronucleus formation was slightly higher in inactivated Polk KI than in WT mice at the same dose, but it was statistically insignificant. The results suggest that Polk has a limited ability to suppress BP-induced genotoxicity in the colon and bone marrow and also that the roles of specialized DNA polymerases in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis should be examined not only by in vitro assays but also by in vivo mouse studies. We also report the spontaneous mutagenesis in inactivated Polk KI mice at young and old ages. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 58:644-653, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Eukaryotic DNA replication is performed by high-fidelity multi-subunit replicative B-family DNA polymerases (Pols) α, δ and ɛ. Those complexes are composed of catalytic and accessory subunits and organized in multicomplex machinery: the replisome. The fourth B-family member, DNA polymerase zeta (Pol ζ), is responsible for a large portion of mutagenesis in eukaryotic cells. Two forms of Pol ζ have been identified, a hetero-dimeric (Pol ζ2 ) and a hetero-tetrameric (Pol ζ4 ) ones and recent data have demonstrated that Pol ζ4 is responsible for damage-induced mutagenesis. Here, using yeast Pol ζ mutant defective in the assembly of the Pol ζ four-subunit form, we show in vivo that [4Fe-4S] cluster in Pol ζ catalytic subunit (Rev3p) is also required for spontaneous (wild-type cells) and defective-replisome-induced mutagenesis - DRIM (pol3-Y708A, pol2-1 or psf1-100 cells), when cells are not treated with any external damaging agents.
