Abstract
DNA polymerase κ (Polκ) is a specialized polymerase that has multiple cellular roles such as translesion DNA synthesis, replication of repetitive sequences, and nucleotide excision repair. We have developed a method for capturing DNA synthesized by Polκ utilizing a Polκ-specific substrate, N2-(4-ethynylbenzyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (EBndG). After shearing of the DNA into 200 to 500 bp lengths, the EBndG-containing DNA was covalently bound to biotin using the Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction and isolated with streptavidin beads. Isolated DNA was then ligated to adaptors, followed by PCR amplification and next-generation sequencing to generate genome-wide repair maps. We have termed this method polymerase κ sequencing. Here, we present the human genome maps for Polκ activity in an undamaged cell line. We found that Polκ activity was enhanced in GC-rich regions, euchromatin regions, the promoter of genes, and in DNA that is replicated early in the S phase.

Abstract
The drug floxuridine (5-fluorodeoxyuridine, FUdR) is an active metabolite of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). It converts to 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine triphosphate (FdUTP), which on incorporation into the genome inhibits DNA replication. Additionally, it inhibits thymidylate synthase, causing dTMP shortage while increasing dUMP availability, which induces uracil incorporation into the genome. However, the mechanisms underlying cellular tolerance to FUdR are yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we explored the mechanisms underlying cellular resistance to FUdR by screening for FUdR hypersensitive mutants from a collection of DT40 mutants deficient in each genomic maintenance system. We identified REV3, which is involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), to be a critical factor in FUdR tolerance. Replication using a FUdR-damaged template was attenuated in REV3-/- cells, indicating that the TLS function of REV3 is required to maintain replication on the FUdR-damaged template. Notably, FUdR-exposed REV3-/- cells exhibited defective cell cycle arrest in the early S phase, suggesting that REV3 is involved in intra-S checkpoint activation. Furthermore, REV3-/- cells showed defects in Chk1 phosphorylation, which is required for checkpoint activation, but the survival of FUdR-exposed REV3-/- cells was further reduced by the inhibition of Chk1 or ATR. These data indicate that REV3 mediates DNA checkpoint activation at least through Chk1 phosphorylation, but this signal acts in parallel with ATR-Chk1 DNA damage checkpoint pathway. Collectively, we reveal a previously unappreciated role of REV3 in FUdR tolerance.

Abstract
Human cells possess many different polymerase enzymes, which collaborate in conducting DNA replication and genome maintenance to ensure faithful duplication of genetic material. Each polymerase performs a specialized role, together providing a balance of accuracy and flexibility to the replication process. Perturbed replication increases the requirement for flexibility to ensure duplication of the entire genome. Flexibility is provided via the use of error-prone polymerases, which maintain the progression of challenged DNA replication at the expense of mutagenesis, an enabling characteristic of cancer. This review describes our recent understanding of mechanisms that alter the usage of polymerases during tumorigenesis and examines the implications of this for cell survival and tumor progression. Although expression levels of polymerases are often misregulated in cancers, this does not necessarily alter polymerase usage since an additional regulatory step may govern the use of these enzymes. We therefore also examine how the regulatory mechanisms of DNA polymerases, such as Rad18-mediated PCNA ubiquitylation, may impact the functionalization of error-prone polymerases to tolerate oncogene-induced replication stress. Crucially, it is becoming increasingly evident that cancer cells utilize error-prone polymerases to sustain ongoing replication in response to oncogenic mutations which inactivate key DNA replication and repair pathways, such as BRCA deficiency. This accelerates mutagenesis and confers chemoresistance, but also presents a dependency that can potentially be exploited by therapeutics.

Abstract
Melanin protects skin cells from ultraviolet radiation-induced DNA damage. However, intermediates of eumelanin are highly reactive quinones that are potentially genotoxic. In this study, we systematically investigate the effect of sustained elevation of melanogenesis and map the consequent cellular repair response of melanocytes. Pigmentation increases γH2AX foci, DNA abasic sites, causes replication stress and invokes translesion polymerase Polκ in primary human melanocytes, as well as mouse melanoma cells. Confirming the causal link, CRISPR-based genetic ablation of tyrosinase results in depigmented cells with low Polκ levels. During pigmentation, Polκ activates replication stress response and keeps a check on uncontrolled proliferation of cells harboring melanin-damaged DNA. The mutational landscape observed in human melanoma could in part explain the error-prone bypass of DNA lesions by Polκ, whose absence would lead to genome instability. Thereby, translesion polymerase Polκ is a critical response of pigmenting melanocytes to combat melanin-induced DNA alterations. Our study illuminates the dark side of melanin and identifies (eu)melanogenesis as a key missing link between tanning response and mutagenesis, mediated via the necessary evil translesion polymerase, Polκ.

Abstract
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is an evolutionarily conserved process that cells activate to tolerate DNA damage. TLS facilitates proliferation under DNA damage conditions and is exploited by cancer cells to gain therapy resistance. It has been so far challenging to analyze endogenous TLS factors such as PCNAmUb and TLS DNA polymerases in single mammalian cells due to a lack of suitable detection tools. We have adapted a flow cytometry-based quantitative method allowing detection of endogenous, chromatin-bound TLS factors in single mammalian cells, either untreated or exposed to DNA-damaging agents. This high-throughput procedure is quantitative, accurate, and allows unbiased analysis of TLS factors' recruitment to chromatin, as well as occurrence of DNA lesions with respect to the cell cycle. We also demonstrate detection of endogenous TLS factors by immunofluorescence microscopy and provide insights into TLS dynamics upon DNA replication forks stalled by UV-C-induced DNA damage.

Abstract
Recent studies have described a DNA damage tolerance pathway choice that involves a competition between PrimPol-mediated repriming and fork reversal. Screening different translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) polymerases by the use of tools for their depletion, we identified a unique role of Pol ι in regulating such a pathway choice. Pol ι deficiency unleashes PrimPol-dependent repriming, which accelerates DNA replication in a pathway that is epistatic with ZRANB3 knockdown. In Pol ι-depleted cells, the excess participation of PrimPol in nascent DNA elongation reduces replication stress signals, but thereby also checkpoint activation in S phase, triggering chromosome instability in M phase. This TLS-independent function of Pol ι requires its PCNA-interacting but not its polymerase domain. Our findings unravel an unanticipated role of Pol ι in protecting the genome stability of cells from detrimental changes in DNA replication dynamics caused by PrimPol.

Abstract
Background: The cGAS/STING pathway, part of the innate immune response to foreign DNA, can be activated by cell's own DNA arising from the processing of the genome, including the degradation of nascent DNA at arrested replication forks, which can be upregulated in cancer cells. Recent evidence raises a possibility that the cGAS/STING pathway may also modulate the very processes that trigger it, e.g., DNA damage repair or processing of stalled forks. Methods: We manipulated STING levels in human cells by depleting or re-expressing it, and assessed the effects of STING on replication using microfluidics-assisted replication track analysis, or maRTA, a DNA fiber assay, as well as immuno-precipitation of nascent DNA, or iPOND. We also assessed STING subcellular distribution and its ability to activate. Results: Depletion of STING suppressed and its re-expression in STING-deficient cancer cells upregulated the degradation of nascent DNA at arrested replication forks. Replication fork arrest was accompanied by the STING pathway activation, and a STING mutant that does not activate the pathway failed to upregulate nascent DNA degradation. cGAS was required for STING's effect on degradation, but this requirement could be bypassed by treating cells with a STING agonist. Cells expressing inactive STING had a reduced level of RPA on parental and nascent DNA of arrested forks and a reduced CHK1 activation compared to cells with the wild type STING. STING also affected unperturbed fork progression in a subset of cell lines. STING fractionated to the nuclear fractions enriched for structural components of chromatin and nuclear envelope, and furthermore, it associated with the chromatin of arrested replication forks as well as post-replicative chromatin. Conclusion: Our data highlight STING as a determinant of stalled replication fork integrity, thus revealing a novel connection between the replication stress and innate immune responses.

Abstract
DNA polymerase kappa (Pol κ) has been well documented thus far for its specialized DNA synthesis activity during translesion replication, progression of replication forks through regions difficult to replicate, restart of stalled forks and replication checkpoint efficiency. Pol κ is also required for the stabilization of stalled forks although the mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we unveiled an unexpected role for Pol κ in controlling the stability and abundance of Chk1, an important actor for the replication checkpoint and fork stabilization. We found that loss of Pol κ decreased the Chk1 protein level in the nucleus of four human cell lines. Pol κ and not the other Y-family polymerase members is required to maintain the Chk1 protein pool all along the cell cycle. We showed that Pol κ depletion affected the protein stability of Chk1 and protected it from proteasome degradation. Importantly, we also observed that the fork restart defects observed in Pol κ-depleted cells could be overcome by the re-expression of Chk1. Strikingly, this new function of Pol κ does not require its catalytic activity. We propose that Pol κ could contribute to the protection of stalled forks through Chk1 stability.

Abstract
DNA polymerases play essential functions in replication fork progression and genome maintenance. DNA lesions and drug-induced replication stress result in up-regulation and re-localization of specialized DNA polymerases η and κ. Although oncogene activation significantly alters DNA replication dynamics, causing replication stress and genome instability, little is known about DNA polymerase expression and regulation in response to oncogene activation. Here, we investigated the consequences of mutant H-RASG12V overexpression on the regulation of DNA polymerases in h-TERT immortalized and SV40-transformed human cells. Focusing on DNA polymerases associated with the replication fork, we demonstrate that DNA polymerases are depleted in a temporal manner in response to H-RASG12V overexpression. The polymerases targeted for depletion, as cells display markers of senescence, include the Pol α catalytic subunit (POLA1), Pol δ catalytic and p68 subunits (POLD1 and POLD3), Pol η, and Pol κ. Both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms mediate this response. Pol η (POLH) depletion is sufficient to induce a senescence-like growth arrest in human foreskin fibroblast BJ5a cells, and is associated with decreased Pol α expression. Using an SV-40 transformed cell model, we observed cell cycle checkpoint signaling differences in cells with H-RasG12V-induced polymerase depletion, as compared to Pol η-deficient cells. Our findings contribute to our understanding of cellular events following oncogene activation and cellular transformation.

Abstract
DNA can experience "replication stress", an important source of genome instability, induced by various external or endogenous impediments that slow down or stall DNA synthesis. While genome instability is largely documented to favor both tumor formation and heterogeneity, as well as drug resistance, conversely, excessive instability appears to suppress tumorigenesis and is associated with improved prognosis. These findings support the view that karyotypic diversity, necessary to adapt to selective pressures, may be limited in tumors so as to reduce the risk of excessive instability. This review aims to highlight the contribution of specialized DNA polymerases in limiting extreme genetic instability by allowing DNA replication to occur even in the presence of DNA damage, to either avoid broken forks or favor their repair after collapse. These mechanisms and their key regulators Rad18 and Polθ not only offer diversity and evolutionary advantage by increasing mutagenic events, but also provide cancer cells with a way to escape anti-cancer therapies that target replication forks.

Abstract
Expression of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) is a determinant of malignancy in gliomas through kynurenine (KYN) signaling. We report that inhibition of TDO activity attenuated recovery from replication stress and increased the genotoxic effects of bis-chloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU). Activation of the Chk1 arm of the replication stress response (RSR) was reduced when TDO activity was blocked prior to BCNU treatment, whereas phosphorylation of serine 33 (pS33) on replication protein A (RPA) was enhanced—indicative of increased fork collapse. Analysis of quantitative proteomic results revealed that TDO inhibition reduced nuclear 53BP1 and sirtuin levels. We confirmed that cells lacking TDO activity exhibited elevated gamma-H2AX signal and defective recruitment of 53BP1 to chromatin following BCNU treatment, which corresponded with delayed repair of DNA breaks. Addition of exogenous KYN increased the rate of break repair. TDO inhibition diminished SIRT7 deacetylase recruitment to chromatin, which increased histone H3K18 acetylation—a key mark involved in preventing 53BP1 recruitment to sites of DNA damage. TDO inhibition also sensitized cells to ionizing radiation (IR)-induced damage, but this effect did not involve altered 53BP1 recruitment. These experiments support a model where TDO-mediated KYN signaling helps fuel a robust response to replication stress and DNA damage.

Abstract
It has been long assumed that normally leading strand synthesis must proceed coordinated with the lagging strand to prevent strand uncoupling and the pathological accumulation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the cell, a dogma recently challenged by in vitro studies in prokaryotes. Here, we report that human DNA polymerases can function independently at each strand in vivo and that the resulting strand uncoupling is supported physiologically by a cellular tolerance to ssDNA. Active forks rapidly accumulate ssDNA at the lagging strand when POLA1 is inhibited without triggering a stress response, despite ssDNA formation being considered a hallmark of replication stress. Acute POLA1 inhibition causes a lethal RPA exhaustion, but cells can duplicate their DNA with limited POLA1 activity and exacerbated strand uncoupling as long as RPA molecules suffice to protect the elevated ssDNA. Although robust, this uncoupled mode of DNA replication is also an in-built weakness that can be targeted for cancer treatment.

Abstract
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
Overexpression of human DNA polymerase kappa (hpol κ) in glioblastoma is associated with shorter survival time and resistance to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), making it an attractive target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors. We previously reported on the development and characterization of indole barbituric acid-derived (IBA) inhibitors of translesion DNA synthesis polymerases (TLS pols). We have now identified a potent and selective inhibitor of hpol κ based on the indole-aminoguanidine (IAG) chemical scaffold. The most promising IAG analogue, IAG-10, exhibited greater inhibitory action against hpol κ than any other human Y-family member, as well as pols from the A-, B-, and X-families. Inhibition of hpol κ by IAG analogues appears to proceed through a mechanism that is distinct from inhibition of hpol η based on changes in DNA binding affinity and nucleotide insertion kinetics. By way of comparison, both IAG and IBA analogues inhibited binary complex formation by hpol κ and ternary complex formation by hpol η. Decreasing the concentration of enzyme and DNA in the reaction mixture lowered the IC50 value of IAG-10 to submicromolar values, consistent with inhibition of binary complex formation for hpol κ. Chemical footprinting experiments revealed that IAG-10 binds to a cleft between the finger, little finger, and N-clasp domains on hpol κ and that this likely disrupts the interaction between the N-clasp and the TLS pol core. In cell culture, IAG-10 potentiated the antiproliferative activity and DNA damaging effects of TMZ in hpol κ-proficient cells but not in hpol κ-deficient cells, indicative of a target-dependent effect. Mutagenic replication across alkylation damage increased in hpol κ-proficient cells treated with IAG-10, while no change in mutation frequency was observed for hpol κ-deficient cells. In summary, we developed a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of hpol κ that takes advantage of structural features unique to this TLS enzyme to potentiate TMZ, a standard-of-care drug used in the treatment of malignant brain tumors. Furthermore, the IAG scaffold represents a new chemical space for the exploration of TLS pol inhibitors, which could prove useful as a strategy for improving patient response to genotoxic drugs.

Abstract
During the very early stages of embryonic development chromosome replication occurs under rather challenging conditions, including a very short cell cycle, absence of transcription, a relaxed DNA damage response and, in certain animal species, a highly contracted S-phase. This raises the puzzling question of how the genome can be faithfully replicated in such a peculiar metabolic context. Recent studies have provided new insights into this issue, and unveiled that embryos are prone to accumulate genetic and genomic alterations, most likely due to restricted cellular functions, in particular reduced DNA synthesis quality control. These findings may explain the low rate of successful development in mammals and the occurrence of diseases, such as abnormal developmental features and cancer. In this review, we will discuss recent findings in this field and put forward perspectives to further study this fascinating question.

Abstract
In vitro studies indicate that DNA polymerase kappa (Polκ) is able to accurately and efficiently perform DNA synthesis using templates containing various types of DNA damage, including benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-induced N2 -deoxyguanosine adducts. In this study, we examined sensitivity of inactivated Polk knock-in (Polk-/- ) mice to BP carcinogenicity in the colon by administering an oral dose of BP plus dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), an inflammation causing promoter of carcinogenesis. Although colon cancer was successfully induced by BP plus DSS, there was no significant difference in tumor incidence or multiplicity between Polk-/- and Polk+/+ mice. Malignant lymphoma was induced in thymus by the treatment only in Polk-/- mice, but it lacked statistical significance. Mutant frequencies (MFs) in the gpt reporter gene were strongly enhanced in colon; almost to the same extent in both types of mice. Micronucleus formation in bone marrow at the high dose of BP and DNA adducts in colon and lung was not significantly different between two types of mice. Surprisingly, however, Polk-/- mice exhibited significantly higher MFs in colon and lung than did Polk+/+ mice when they were treated with DSS alone. The most prominent mutation induced by DSS treatment was G:C to C:G transversion, whose specific MF in proximal colon was 30 times higher in Polk-/- than in Polk+/+ mice. DSS alone did not enhance MF at all in Polk+/+ mice. The results indicate that Polκ does not suppress BP-induced mutagenesis and carcinogenesis in the colon, but counteracts inflammation-induced mutagenesis in multiple organs. Environ. Mol.

Abstract
Common fragile sites (CFSs) are specific genomic regions in normal chromosomes that exhibit genomic instability under DNA replication stress. As replication stress is an early feature of cancer development, CFSs are involved in the signature of genomic instability found in malignant tumors. The landscape of CFSs is tissue-specific and differs under different replication stress inducers. Nevertheless, the features underlying CFS sensitivity to replication stress are shared. Here, we review the events generating replication stress and discuss the unique characteristics of CFS regions and the cellular responses aimed to stabilizing these regions.

Abstract
DNA replication stress is often defined by the slowing or stalling of replication fork progression leading to local or global DNA synthesis inhibition. Failure to resolve replication stress in a timely manner contribute toward cell cycle defects, genome instability and human disease; however, the mechanism for fork recovery remains poorly defined. Here, we show that the translesion DNA polymerase (Pol) kappa, a DinB orthologue, has a unique role in both protecting and restarting stalled replication forks under conditions of nucleotide deprivation. Importantly, Pol kappa-mediated DNA synthesis during hydroxyurea (HU)-dependent fork restart is regulated by both the Fanconi Anemia (FA) pathway and PCNA polyubiquitination. Loss of Pol kappa prevents timely rescue of stalled replication forks, leading to replication-associated genomic instability, and a p53-dependent cell cycle defect. Taken together, our results identify a previously unanticipated role for Pol kappa in promoting DNA synthesis and replication stress recovery at sites of stalled forks.

Abstract
Incomplete and low-fidelity genome duplication contribute to genomic instability and cancer development. Difficult-to-Replicate Sequences, or DiToRS, are natural impediments in the genome that require specialized DNA polymerases and repair pathways to complete and maintain faithful DNA synthesis. DiToRS include non B-DNA secondary structures formed by repetitive sequences, for example within chromosomal fragile sites and telomeres, which inhibit DNA replication under endogenous stress conditions. Oncogene activation alters DNA replication dynamics and creates oncogenic replication stress, resulting in persistent activation of the DNA damage and replication stress responses, cell cycle arrest, and cell death. The response to oncogenic replication stress is highly complex and must be tightly regulated to prevent mutations and tumorigenesis. In this review, we summarize types of known DiToRS and the experimental evidence supporting replication inhibition, with a focus on the specialized DNA polymerases utilized to cope with these obstacles. In addition, we discuss different causes of oncogenic replication stress and its impact on DiToRS stability. We highlight recent findings regarding the regulation of DNA polymerases during oncogenic replication stress and the implications for cancer development.

Abstract
In response to a variety of DNA replication stress or DNA damaging agents, the DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are triggered for cells to coordinate DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, and senescence. Cell-free Xenopus egg extracts, derived from the eggs of African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis), have been widely used for studies concerning DDR pathways. In this review, we focus on how different experimental systems have been established using Xenopus egg extracts to investigate the DDR pathways that are activated in response to DNA replication stress, double-strand breaks (DSBs), inter-strand crosslinks (ICLs), and oxidative stress. We summarize how molecular details of DDR pathways are dissected by the mechanistic studies with Xenopus egg extracts. We also provide an update on the regulation of translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) polymerases (Pol ĸ and REV1) in the DDR pathways. A better understanding of DDR pathways using Xenopus egg extracts has opened new avenues for future cancer therapeutics. Finally, we offer our perspectives of future directions for studies of DDR pathways with Xenopus egg extracts.

Abstract
Telomere maintenance critically depends on the distinct activities of telomerase, which adds telomeric repeats to solve the end replication problem, and RTEL1, which dismantles DNA secondary structures at telomeres to facilitate replisome progression. Here, we establish that reversed replication forks are a pathological substrate for telomerase and the source of telomere catastrophe in Rtel1-/- cells. Inhibiting telomerase recruitment to telomeres, but not its activity, or blocking replication fork reversal through PARP1 inhibition or depleting UBC13 or ZRANB3 prevents the rapid accumulation of dysfunctional telomeres in RTEL1-deficient cells. In this context, we establish that telomerase binding to reversed replication forks inhibits telomere replication, which can be mimicked by preventing replication fork restart through depletion of RECQ1 or PARG. Our results lead us to propose that telomerase inappropriately binds to and inhibits restart of reversed replication forks within telomeres, which compromises replication and leads to critically short telomeres.

Abstract
As a third-generation platinum drug, oxaliplatin has been widely applied in colorectal cancer (CRC); however, acquired resistance to oxaliplatin has become a major obstacle. In the present study, we found that the nuclear transcription factor Y subunit beta (NFYB) and E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) expression levels were significantly higher in oxaliplatin-resistant DLD1 and RKO CRC (OR-CRC) cells than in non-resistant cells. Additionally, highly expressed NFYB transactivated the E2F1 gene, which is important to maintain oxaliplatin resistance in OR-CRC cells. And Sirt1-dependent deacetylation suppresses the proapoptotic activity of E2F1 in OR-CRC cells. Through profiling the transcriptome of OR-CRC cells following E2F1 knockdown, CHK1 was identified as a target of E2F1. Deprivation of CHK1 sensitized OR-CRC cells to oxaliplatin. In vitro and in vivo phenotype experiments confirmed that an intact NFYB-E2F1-CHK1 axis was required to suppress oxaliplatin-induced apoptosis and maintain the tumorigenicity in OR-CRC cells. Knockdown of E2F1 in OR-CRC cells also decreased the expression of Pol κ, which was essential for CHK1 activation. Consistently, a high level of NFYB, E2F1, or CHK1 predicted poor survival in CRC patients, especially with oxaliplatin treatment. Collectively, the NFYB-E2F1 pathway displays a crucial role in the chemoresistance of OR-CRC by inducing the expression and activation of CHK1, providing a possible therapeutic target for oxaliplatin resistance in CRC.

Abstract
Within the nucleus, sub-nuclear domains define territories where specific functions occur. Nuclear bodies (NBs) are dynamic structures that concentrate nuclear factors and that can be observed microscopically. Recently, NBs containing the p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1), a key component of the DNA damage response, were defined. Interestingly, 53BP1 NBs are visualized during G1 phase, in daughter cells, while DNA damage was generated in mother cells and not properly processed. Unlike most NBs involved in transcriptional processes, replication has proven to be key for 53BP1 NBs, with replication stress leading to the formation of these large chromatin domains in daughter cells. In this review, we expose the composition and organization of 53BP1 NBs and focus on recent findings regarding their regulation and dynamics. We then concentrate on the importance of the replication stress, examine the relation of 53BP1 NBs with DNA damage and discuss their dysfunction.

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
The genomic landscape of cancer is one marred by instability, but the mechanisms that underlie these alterations are multifaceted and remain a topic of intense research. Cellular responses to DNA damage and/or replication stress can affect genome stability in tumors and influence the response of patients to therapy. In addition to direct repair, DNA damage tolerance (DDT) is an element of genomic maintenance programs that contributes to the etiology of several types of cancer. DDT mechanisms primarily act to resolve replication stress, and this can influence the effectiveness of genotoxic drugs. Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is an important component of DDT that facilitates direct bypass of DNA adducts and other barriers to replication. The central role of TLS in the bypass of drug-induced DNA lesions, the promotion of tumor heterogeneity, and the involvement of these enzymes in the maintenance of the cancer stem cell niche presents an opportunity to leverage inhibition of TLS as a way of improving existing therapies. In the review that follows, we summarize mechanisms of DDT, misregulation of TLS in cancer, and discuss the potential for targeting these pathways as a means of improving cancer therapies.

Abstract
Replication stress is a strong and early driving force for genomic instability and tumor development. Beside replicative DNA polymerases, an emerging group of specialized DNA polymerases is involved in the technical assistance of the replication machinery in order to prevent replicative stress and its deleterious consequences. During S-phase, altered progression of the replication fork by endogenous or exogenous impediments induces replicative stress, causing cells to reach mitosis with genomic regions not fully duplicated. Recently, specific mechanisms to resolve replication intermediates during mitosis with the aim of limiting DNA damage transmission to daughter cells have been identified. In this review, we detail the two major actions of specialized DNA polymerases that limit DNA damage transmission: the prevention of replicative stress by non-B DNA replication and the recovery of stalled replication forks.

Abstract
DNA repair pathways are crucial to maintain the integrity of our genome and prevent genetic diseases such as cancer. There are many different types of DNA damage and specific DNA repair mechanisms have evolved to deal with these lesions. In addition to these repair pathways there is an extensive signaling network that regulates processes important for repair, such as cell cycle control and transcription. Despite extensive research, DNA damage repair and signaling are not fully understood. In vitro systems such as the Xenopus egg extract system, have played, and still play, an important role in deciphering the molecular details of these processes. Xenopus laevis egg extracts contain all factors required to efficiently perform DNA repair outside a cell, using mechanisms conserved in humans. These extracts have been used to study several genome maintenance pathways, including mismatch repair, non-homologous end joining, ICL repair, DNA damage checkpoint activation, and replication fork stability. Here we describe how the Xenopus egg extract system, in combination with specifically designed DNA templates, contributed to our detailed understanding of these pathways.

Abstract
N2 -Alkyl-2'-deoxyguanosine triphosphate (N2 -alkyl-dGTP) derivatives with methyl, butyl, benzyl, or 4-ethynylbenzyl substituents were prepared and tested as substrates for human DNA polymerases. N2 -Benzyl-dGTP was equal to dGTP as a substrate for DNA polymerase κ (pol κ), but was a poor substrate for pols β, δ, η, ι, or ν. In vivo reactivity was evaluated through incubation of N2 -4-ethynylbenzyl-dG with wild-type and pol κ deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts. CuAAC reaction with 5(6)-FAM-azide demonstrated that only cells containing pol κ were able to incorporate N2 -4-ethynylbenzyl-dG into the nucleus. This is the first instance of a Y-family-polymerase-specific dNTP, and this method could be used to probe the activity of pol κ in vivo.

Abstract
Early embryonic cleavages are characterized by short and highly synchronous cell cycles made of alternating S- and M-phases with virtually absent gap phases. In this contracted cell cycle, the duration of DNA synthesis can be extraordinarily short. Depending on the organism, the whole genome of an embryo is replicated at a speed that is between 20 to 60 times faster than that of a somatic cell. Because transcription in the early embryo is repressed, DNA synthesis relies on a large stockpile of maternally supplied proteins stored in the egg representing most, if not all, cellular genes. In addition, in early embryonic cell cycles, both replication and DNA damage checkpoints are inefficient. In this article, we will review current knowledge on how DNA synthesis is regulated in early embryos and discuss possible consequences of replicating chromosomes with little or no quality control.

Abstract
Precise duplication of the human genome is challenging due to both its size and sequence complexity. DNA polymerase errors made during replication, repair or recombination are central to creating mutations that drive cancer and aging. Here, we address the regulation of human DNA polymerases, specifically how human cells orchestrate DNA polymerases in the face of stress to complete replication and maintain genome stability. DNA polymerases of the B-family are uniquely adept at accurate genome replication, but there are numerous situations in which one or more additional DNA polymerases are required to complete genome replication. Polymerases of the Y-family have been extensively studied in the bypass of DNA lesions; however, recent research has revealed that these polymerases play important roles in normal human physiology. Replication stress is widely cited as contributing to genome instability, and is caused by conditions leading to slowed or stalled DNA replication. Common Fragile Sites epitomize “difficult to replicate” genome regions that are particularly vulnerable to replication stress, and are associated with DNA breakage and structural variation. In this review, we summarize the roles of both the replicative and Y-family polymerases in human cells, and focus on how these activities are regulated during normal and perturbed genome replication.

Abstract
DNA polymerase theta (Polθ) is a specialized A-family DNA polymerase that functions in processes such as translesion synthesis (TLS), DNA double-strand break repair and DNA replication timing. Overexpression of POLQ, the gene encoding Polθ, is a prognostic marker for an adverse outcome in a wide range of human cancers. While increased Polθ dosage was recently suggested to promote survival of homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancer cells, it remains unclear whether POLQ overexpression could be also beneficial to HR-proficient cancer cells. By performing a short interfering (si)RNA screen in which genes encoding druggable proteins were knocked down in Polθ-overexpressing cells as a means to uncover genetic vulnerabilities associated with POLQ overexpression, we could not identify genes that were essential for viability in Polθ-overexpressing cells in normal growth conditions. We also showed that, upon external DNA replication stress, Polθ expression promotes cell survival and limits genetic instability. Finally, we report that POLQ expression correlates with the expression of a set of HR genes in breast, lung and colorectal cancers. Collectively, our data suggest that Polθ upregulation, besides its importance for survival of HR-deficient cancer cells, may be crucial also for HR-proficient cells to better tolerate DNA replication stress, as part of a global gene deregulation response, including HR genes. Summary: Our work suggests that Polθ upregulation may be crucial for homologous recombination (HR)-proficient cells to better tolerate DNA replication stress, as part of a global gene deregulation response, including HR genes.

Cyclin Kinase-independent role of p21 CDKN1A in the promotion of nascent DNA elongation in unstressed cells. eLife 2016; 5.

Abstract
The levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21 are low in S phase and insufficient to inhibit CDKs. We show here that endogenous p21, instead of being residual, it is functional and necessary to preserve the genomic stability of unstressed cells. p21depletion slows down nascent DNA elongation, triggers permanent replication defects and promotes the instability of hard-to-replicate genomic regions, namely common fragile sites (CFS). The p21’s PCNA interacting region (PIR), and not its CDK binding domain, is needed to prevent the replication defects and the genomic instability caused by p21 depletion. The alternative polymerase kappa is accountable for such defects as they were not observed after simultaneous depletion of both p21 and polymerase kappa. Hence, in CDK-independent manner, endogenous p21 prevents a type of genomic instability which is not triggered by endogenous DNA lesions but by a dysregulation in the DNA polymerase choice during genomic DNA synthesis. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.18020.001 Cancer develops when cells in the body mutate in ways that allow them to rapidly grow and divide. To protect cells from becoming cancerous, various molecules act like guardians to prevent cells from dividing when their DNA is damaged, or if they are short of energy. Other guardian molecules monitor the DNA copying process to ensure that the newly-made DNA is as identical as possible to the original DNA template. A protein called p21 belongs to the first group of guardian molecules: DNA damage triggers the production of p21, which prevents the cell from copying its DNA. This role relies on a section of the protein called the CDK binding domain. Cells that have already started to copy their genetic material also have low levels of p21. Mansilla et al. used human cells to investigate whether p21 is also involved in the process of copying DNA. The experiments show that the low levels of p21 act to increase the speed at which the DNA is copied. This activity helps to ensure that all of the cell’s DNA is copied within the time available, including sections of DNA that are harder to copy because they are more fragile and prone to damage. This newly identified role does not involve the CDK binding domain, but instead requires a different section of the p21 protein known as the PCNA interacting region. Mansilla et al. propose that p21 plays a dual role in protecting us from developing cancer. The PCNA interacting region is also found in other proteins that are involved in copying DNA. Therefore, a future challenge is to find out how these proteins interact with each other to ensure that cells accurately copy their DNA in a timely fashion.

Abstract
DNA polymerase (pol) κ efficiently catalyzes error-free translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) opposite bulky N2-guanyl lesions induced by carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We investigated the biochemical effects of nine human nonsynonymous germline POLK variations on the TLS properties of pol κ, utilizing recombinant pol κ (residues 1-526) enzymes and DNA templates containing an N2-CH2(9-anthracenyl)G (N2-AnthG), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), O6-methyl(Me)G, or an abasic site. In steady-state kinetic analyses, the R246X, R298H, T473A, and R512W variants displayed 7- to 18-fold decreases in kcat/Km for dCTP insertion opposite G and N2-AnthG, with 2- to 3-fold decreases in DNA binding affinity, compared to that of the wild-type, and further showed 5- to 190-fold decreases in kcat/Km for next-base extension from C paired with N2-AnthG. The A471V variant showed 2- to 4-fold decreases in kcat/Km for correct nucleotide insertion opposite and beyond G (or N2-AnthG) compared to that of the wild-type. These five hypoactive variants also showed similar patterns of attenuation of TLS activity opposite 8-oxoG, O6-MeG, and abasic lesions. By contrast, the T44M variant exhibited 7- to 11-fold decreases in kcat/Km for dCTP insertion opposite N2-AnthG and O6-MeG (as well as for dATP insertion opposite an abasic site) but not opposite both G and 8-oxoG, nor beyond N2-AnthG, compared to that of the wild-type. These results suggest that the R246X, R298H, T473A, R512W, and A471V variants cause a general catalytic impairment of pol κ opposite G and all four lesions, whereas the T44M variant induces opposite lesion-dependent catalytic impairment, i.e., only opposite O6-MeG, abasic, and bulky N2-G lesions but not opposite G and 8-oxoG, in pol κ, which might indicate that these hypoactive pol κ variants are genetic factors in modifying individual susceptibility to genotoxic carcinogens in certain subsets of populations.

Abstract
We have investigated the in vitro properties of human Y-family polymerase κ (hpol κ) on G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA). Similar to hpol η, another Y-family member implicated in replication of G4 motifs, hpol κ bound G4 DNA with a 5.7-fold preference over control, non-G4 DNA. Results from pol extension assays are consistent with the notion that G-quadruplexes present a stronger barrier to DNA synthesis by hpol κ than they do to that by hpol η. However, kinetic analysis revealed that hpol κ activity increases considerably when the enzyme is 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, a trend that was reported previously for hpol η, though the increase was less pronounced. The increase in hpol κ activity on G4 DNA was readily observed in the presence of either potassium or sodium but much less so when lithium was used in the buffer. The increased activity 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif was accompanied by a decrease in the fidelity of hpol κ when the counterion was either potassium or sodium but not in the presence of lithium. The activity of hpol κ decreased progressively as the primer was moved closer than 2 nucleotides from the G4 motif when either potassium or sodium was used to stabilize the G-quadruplex. Interestingly, the decrease in catalytic activity at the site of the quadruplex observed in potassium-containing buffer was accompanied by an increase in fidelity on G4 substrates versus control non-G4 substrates. This trend of increased fidelity in copying a tetrad-associated guanine was observed previously for hpol η, but not for the B-family member hpol ε, which exhibited a large decrease in both efficiency and fidelity in the attempt to copy the first guanine in the G4 motif. In summary, hpol κ activity was enhanced relative to those of other Y-family members when the enzyme is 2-3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, but hpol κ appears to be less competent than hpol η at copying tetrad-associated guanines.

Abstract
Metabolism of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan (TRP) is implicated in a number of neurological conditions including depression, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The TRP catabolite kynurenine (KYN) has recently emerged as an important neuroactive factor in brain tumor pathogenesis, with additional studies implicating KYN in other types of cancer. Often highlighted as a modulator of the immune response and a contributor to immune escape for malignant tumors, it is well-known that KYN has effects on the production of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)), which can have a direct impact on DNA repair, replication, cell division, redox signaling, and mitochondrial function. Additional effects of KYN signaling are imparted through its role as an endogenous agonist for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and it is largely through activation of the AhR that KYN appears to mediate malignant progression in gliomas. We have recently reported on the ability of KYN signaling to modulate expression of human DNA polymerase kappa (hpol κ), a translesion enzyme involved in bypass of bulky DNA lesions and activation of the replication stress response. Given the impact of KYN on NAD(+) production, AhR signaling, and translesion DNA synthesis, it follows that dysregulation of KYN signaling in cancer may promote malignancy through alterations in the level of endogenous DNA damage and replication stress. In this perspective, we discuss the connections between KYN signaling, DNA damage tolerance, and genomic instability, as they relate to cancer.

Abstract
Overexpression of the translesion synthesis polymerase hpol κ in glioblastomas has been linked to poor patient prognosis; however, the mechanism promoting higher expression in these tumors remains unknown. We determined that activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway in glioblastoma cells leads to increased hpol κ mRNA and protein levels. We blocked nuclear translocation and DNA binding by AhR in glioblastoma cells using a small-molecule and observed decreased hpol κ expression. Pharmacological inhibition of tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), the enzyme largely responsible for activating AhR in glioblastoma, led to a decrease in the endogenous AhR agonist kynurenine and a corresponding decrease in hpol κ protein levels. Importantly, we discovered that inhibiting TDO activity, AhR signaling, or suppressing hpol κ expression with RNA interference led to decreased chromosomal damage in glioblastoma cells. Epistasis assays further supported the idea that TDO activity, activation of AhR signaling, and the resulting overexpression of hpol κ function primarily in the same pathway to increase endogenous DNA damage. These findings indicate that upregulation of hpol κ through glioblastoma-specific TDO activity and activation of AhR signaling likely contributes to the high levels of replication stress and genomic instability observed in these tumors.

Abstract
After UV irradiation, DNA polymerases specialized in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) aid DNA replication. However, it is unclear whether other mechanisms also facilitate the elongation of UV-damaged DNA. We wondered if Rad51 recombinase (Rad51), a factor that escorts replication forks, aids replication across UV lesions. We found that depletion of Rad51 impairs S-phase progression and increases cell death after UV irradiation. Interestingly, Rad51 and the TLS polymerase polη modulate the elongation of nascent DNA in different ways, suggesting that DNA elongation after UV irradiation does not exclusively rely on TLS events. In particular, Rad51 protects the DNA synthesized immediately before UV irradiation from degradation and avoids excessive elongation of nascent DNA after UV irradiation. In Rad51-depleted samples, the degradation of DNA was limited to the first minutes after UV irradiation and required the exonuclease activity of the double strand break repair nuclease (Mre11). The persistent dysregulation of nascent DNA elongation after Rad51 knockdown required Mre11, but not its exonuclease activity, and PrimPol, a DNA polymerase with primase activity. By showing a crucial contribution of Rad51 to the synthesis of nascent DNA, our results reveal an unanticipated complexity in the regulation of DNA elongation across UV-damaged templates.

Abstract
DNA polymerase κ (Pol κ) is a specialized DNA polymerase involved in translesion DNA synthesis. Although its bypass activities across lesions are well characterized in biochemistry, its cellular protective roles against genotoxic insults are still elusive. To better understand the in vivo protective roles, we have established a human cell line deficient in the expression of Pol κ (KO) and another expressing catalytically dead Pol κ (CD), to examine the cytotoxic sensitivity to 11 genotoxins including ultraviolet C light (UV). These cell lines were established in a genetic background of Nalm-6-MSH+, a human lymphoblastic cell line that has high efficiency for gene targeting, and functional p53 and mismatch repair activities. We classified the genotoxins into four groups. Group 1 includes benzo[a]pyrene diolepoxide, mitomycin C, and bleomycin, where the sensitivity was equally higher in KO and CD than in the cell line expressing wild-type Pol κ (WT). Group 2 includes hydrogen peroxide and menadione, where hypersensitivity was observed only in KO. Group 3 includes methyl methanesulfonate and ethyl methanesulfonate, where hypersensitivity was observed only in CD. Group 4 includes UV and three chemicals, where the chemicals exhibited similar cytotoxicity to all three cell lines. The results suggest that Pol κ not only protects cells from genotoxic DNA lesions via DNA polymerase activities, but also contributes to genome integrity by acting as a non-catalytic protein against oxidative damage caused by hydrogen peroxide and menadione. The non-catalytic roles of Pol κ in protection against oxidative damage by hydrogen peroxide are discussed.

Abstract
Over the past half-century, we have become increasingly aware of the ubiquity of DNA damage. Under the constant exposure to exogenous and endogenous genomic stress, cells must attempt to replicate damaged DNA. The encounter of replication forks with DNA lesions triggers several cellular responses, including the activation of translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), which largely depends upon specialized DNA polymerases with flexible active sites capable of accommodating bulky DNA lesions. A detrimental aspect of TLS is its intrinsic mutagenic nature, and thus the activity of the TLS polymerases must ideally be restricted to synthesis on damaged DNA templates. Despite their potential clinical importance in chemotherapy, TLS inhibitors have been difficult to identify since a direct assay designed to quantify genomic TLS events is still unavailable. Herein we discuss the methods that have been used to validate TLS inhibitors such as USP1, p21 and Spartan, highlighting research that has revealed their contribution to the control of DNA synthesis on damaged and undamaged templates.

Abstract
The translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) polymerase REV1 is implicated in the bypass of the irreparable DNA damage such as interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). However, the potential role of REV1 in DNA damage response (DDR) pathway has not been determined. In this research communication, we provide evidence to demonstrate that REV1 plays a previously unidentified but important role in the ATR-Chk1 checkpoint activation in response to mitomycin C (MMC)-induced ICLs in Xenopus egg extracts. We further pinpointed that REV1 plays a downstream role of a checkpoint protein complex assembly including ATR, ATRIP, TopBP1 and the Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 complex to MMC-induced ICLs on chromatin in the DDR pathway. Notably, domain dissection analysis demonstrates that a C-terminal domain, but not the individual ubiquitin binding motifs, of REV1 is important for the binding of REV1 to MMC-damaged chromatin and the MMC-induced Chk1 phosphorylation. Yet, the ATR-Chk1 DDR pathway appears to be dispensable for the preferential association of REV1 to MMC-damaged chromatin. Taken together, REV1 is important for the DDR pathway in Xenopus egg extracts.

Abstract
Most spontaneous and DNA damage-induced nucleotide substitutions in eukaryotes depend on translesion synthesis polymerases Rev1 and Pol ζ, the latter consisting of the catalytic subunit Rev3 and the accessory protein Rev7. Here we review the regulation, and the biochemical and cellular functions, of Rev1/Pol ζ-dependent translesion synthesis. These are correlated with phenotypes of mouse models with defects in Rev1, Rev3 or Rev7. The data indicate that Rev1/Pol ζ-mediated translesion synthesis is important for adaptive immunity while playing paradoxical roles in oncogenesis. On the other hand, by enabling the replication of endogenously damaged templates, Rev1/Pol ζ -dependent translesion synthesis protects stem cells, thereby preventing features of ageing. In conclusion, Rev1/Pol ζ-dependent translesion synthesis at DNA helix-distorting nucleotide lesions orchestrates pleiotropic responses that determine organismal fitness and disease.

Abstract
The DNA-directed primase-polymerase PrimPol of the archaeo-eukaryotic primase superfamily represents an ancient solution to the many problems faced during genome duplication. This versatile enzyme is capable of initiating de novo DNA/RNA synthesis, DNA chain elongation, and has the capacity to bypass modifications that stall the replisome by trans-lesion synthesis or origin-independent re-priming, thus allowing discontinuous synthesis of the leading strand. Recent studies have shown that PrimPol is an important new player in replication fork progression in eukaryotic cells; this review summarizes our current understanding of PrimPol and highlights important questions that remain to be addressed.

Abstract
Replication fork progression is being continuously hampered by exogenously introduced and naturally occurring DNA lesions and other physical obstacles. Checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) is activated at replication forks that encounter damaged DNA. Subsequently, Chk1 inhibits the initiation of new replication factories and stimulates the firing of dormant origins (those in the vicinity of stalled forks). Chk1 also avoids fork collapse into DSBs (double strand breaks) and promotes fork elongation. At the molecular level, the current model considers stalled forks as the site of Chk1 activation and the nucleoplasm as the location where Chk1 phosphorylates target proteins. This model certainly serves to explain how Chk1 modulates origin firing, but how Chk1 controls the fate of stalled forks is less clear. Interestingly, recent reports demonstrating that Chk1 phosphorylates chromatin-bound proteins and even holds kinase-independent functions might shed light on how Chk1 contributes to the elongation of damaged DNA. Indeed, such findings have unveiled a puzzling connection between Chk1 and DNA lesion bypass, which might be central to promoting fork elongation and checkpoint attenuation. In summary, Chk1 is a multifaceted and versatile signaling factor that acts at ongoing forks and replication origins to determine the extent and quality of the cellular response to replication stress.

Microsatellite interruptions stabilize primate genomes and exist as population-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms within individual human genomes. PLoS Genet 2014; 10:e1004498.

Abstract
Interruptions of microsatellite sequences impact genome evolution and can alter disease manifestation. However, human polymorphism levels at interrupted microsatellites (iMSs) are not known at a genome-wide scale, and the pathways for gaining interruptions are poorly understood. Using the 1000 Genomes Phase-1 variant call set, we interrogated mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats up to 10 units in length. We detected ∼26,000–40,000 iMSs within each of four human population groups (African, European, East Asian, and American). We identified population-specific iMSs within exonic regions, and discovered that known disease-associated iMSs contain alleles present at differing frequencies among the populations. By analyzing longer microsatellites in primate genomes, we demonstrate that single interruptions result in a genome-wide average two- to six-fold reduction in microsatellite mutability, as compared with perfect microsatellites. Centrally located interruptions lowered mutability dramatically, by two to three orders of magnitude. Using a biochemical approach, we tested directly whether the mutability of a specific iMS is lower because of decreased DNA polymerase strand slippage errors. Modeling the adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor gene sequence, we observed that a single base substitution interruption reduced strand slippage error rates five- to 50-fold, relative to a perfect repeat, during synthesis by DNA polymerases α, β, or η. Computationally, we demonstrate that iMSs arise primarily by base substitution mutations within individual human genomes. Our biochemical survey of human DNA polymerase α, β, δ, κ, and η error rates within certain microsatellites suggests that interruptions are created most frequently by low fidelity polymerases. Our combined computational and biochemical results demonstrate that iMSs are abundant in human genomes and are sources of population-specific genetic variation that may affect genome stability. The genome-wide identification of iMSs in human populations presented here has important implications for current models describing the impact of microsatellite polymorphisms on gene expression. Microsatellites are short tandem repeat DNA sequences located throughout the human genome that display a high degree of inter-individual variation. This characteristic makes microsatellites an attractive tool for population genetics and forensics research. Some microsatellites affect gene expression, and mutations within such microsatellites can cause disease. Interruption mutations disrupt the perfect repeated array and are frequently associated with altered disease risk, but they have not been thoroughly studied in human genomes. We identified interrupted mono-, di-, tri- and tetranucleotide MSs (iMS) within individual genomes from African, European, Asian and American population groups. We show that many iMSs, including some within disease-associated genes, are unique to a single population group. By measuring the conservation of microsatellites between human and chimpanzee genomes, we demonstrate that interruptions decrease the probability of microsatellite mutations throughout the genome. We demonstrate that iMSs arise in the human genome by single base changes within the DNA, and provide biochemical data suggesting that these stabilizing changes may be created by error-prone DNA polymerases. Our genome-wide study supports the model in which iMSs act to stabilize individual genomes, and suggests that population-specific differences in microsatellite architecture may be an avenue by which genetic ancestry impacts individual disease risk.

Abstract
To ensure high cell viability and genomic stability, cells have evolved two major mechanisms to deal with the constant challenge of DNA replication fork arrest during S phase of the cell cycle: (1) induction of the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) replication checkpoint mechanism, and (2) activation of a pathway that bypasses DNA damage and DNA with abnormal structure and is mediated by translesion synthesis (TLS) Y-family DNA polymerases. This review focuses on how DNA polymerase kappa (Pol κ), one of the most highly conserved TLS DNA polymerases, is involved in each of these pathways and thereby coordinates them to choreograph the response to a stalled replication fork. We also describe how loss of Pol κ regulation, which occurs frequently in human cancers, affects genomic stability and contributes to cancer development.

Abstract
Although DNA polymerase θ (Pol θ) is known to carry out translesion synthesis and has been implicated in DNA repair, its physiological function under normal growth conditions remains unclear. Here we present evidence that Pol θ plays a role in determining the timing of replication in human cells. We find that Pol θ binds to chromatin during early G1, interacts with the Orc2 and Orc4 components of the Origin recognition complex and that the association of Mcm proteins with chromatin is enhanced in G1 when Pol θ is downregulated. Pol θ-depleted cells exhibit a normal density of activated origins in S phase, but early-to-late and late-to-early shifts are observed at a number of replication domains. Pol θ overexpression, on the other hand, causes delayed replication. Our results therefore suggest that Pol θ functions during the earliest steps of DNA replication and influences the timing of replication initiation.
