Abstract
Single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the most frequent type of lesion, and replication across such lesions leads to double-strand breaks (DSBs). DSBs that arise during replication are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and are suppressed by fork reversal. Poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase I (PARP1) and the proofreading exonuclease activity of replicative polymerase ε (Polε) are required for fork reversal when leading strand replication encounters SSBs. However, the mechanism underlying fork reversal at the SSB during lagging-strand replication remains elusive. We here demonstrate that the Pold4 subunit of replicative polymerase δ (Polδ) plays a role in promoting fork reversal during lagging strand replication on a broken template. POLD4-/- cells exhibited heightened sensitivity to camptothecin (CPT) but not to other DNA-damaging agents compared to wild-type cells. This selective CPT sensitivity in POLD4-/- cells suggests that Pold4 suppresses DSBs during replication, as CPT induces significant SSBs during replication, which subsequently lead to DSBs. To explore the functional interactions among Pold4, Polε exonuclease, and PARP1 in DSB suppression, we generated PARP1-/-, POLD4-/-, Polε exonuclease-deficient POLE1exo-/-, PARP1-/-/POLD4-/-, and POLD4-/-/POLE1exo-/- cells. These epistasis analyses showed that Pold4 is involved in the PARP1-Polε exonuclease-mediated fork reversal following CPT treatment. These results suggest that Pold4 aids in fork reversal when lagging strand replication stalls on a broken template. In conclusion, the Pold4 subunit of Polδ has roles in the PARP1-Polε exonuclease-mediated fork reversal, contributing to the suppression of DSBs.

Abstract
During DNA replication, DNA lesions in lagging strand templates are initially encountered by DNA polymerase δ (pol δ) holoenzymes comprised of pol δ and the PCNA processivity sliding clamp. These encounters are thought to stall replication of an afflicted template before the lesion, activating DNA damage tolerance (DDT) pathways that replicate the lesion and adjacent DNA sequence, allowing pol δ to resume. However, qualitative studies observed that human pol δ can replicate various DNA lesions, albeit with unknown proficiencies, which raises issues regarding the role of DDT in replicating DNA lesions. To address these issues, we re-constituted human lagging strand replication to quantitatively characterize initial encounters of pol δ holoenzymes with DNA lesions. The results indicate pol δ holoenzymes support dNTP incorporation opposite and beyond multiple lesions and the extent of these activities depends on the lesion and pol δ proofreading. Furthermore, after encountering a given DNA lesion, subsequent dissociation of pol δ is distributed around the lesion and a portion does not dissociate. The distributions of these events are dependent on the lesion and pol δ proofreading. Collectively, these results reveal complexity and heterogeneity in the replication of lagging strand DNA lesions, significantly advancing our understanding of human DDT.

Abstract
Werner helicase-interacting protein 1 (WRNIP1) belongs to the AAA+ ATPase family and is conserved from Escherichia coli to human. In addition to an ATPase domain in the middle region of WRNIP1, WRNIP1 contains a ubiquitin-binding zinc-finger (UBZ) domain and two leucine zipper motifs in the N-terminal and C-terminal regions, respectively. Here, we report that the UBZ domain of WRNIP1 is responsible for the reduced levels of UV-induced proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) monoubiquitylation in POLH-disrupted (polymerase η (Polη)-deficient) cells, and that the ATPase domain of WRNIP1 is involved in regulating the level of the PrimPol protein. The suppression of UV sensitivity of Polη-deficient cells by deletion of WRNIP1 was abolished by expression of the mutant WRNIP1 lacking the UBZ domain or ATPase domain, but not by the mutant lacking the leucine zipper domain in WRNIP1/POLH double-disrupted cells. The leucine zipper domain of WRNIP1 was required for its interaction with RAD18, a key factor in TLS (DNA translesion synthesis), and DNA polymerase δ catalytic subunit, POLD1. On the basis of these findings, we discuss the possible role of WRNIP1 in TLS.

Abstract
Although UV-induced mutagenesis has been studied extensively, the precise mechanisms that convert UV-induced DNA damage into mutations remain elusive. One well-studied mechanism involves DNA polymerase (Pol) η and ζ, which produces C > T transitions during translesion synthesis (TLS) across pyrimidine dimers. We previously proposed another biochemical mechanism that involves multiple UV-irradiations with incubation in the dark in between. The incubation facilitates spontaneous deamination of cytosine in a pyrimidine dimer, and the subsequent UV irradiation induces photolyase-independent (direct) photoreversal that converts cytosine into monomeric uracil residue. In this paper, we first demonstrate that natural sunlight can induce both mutational processes in vitro. The direct photoreversal was also reproduced by monochromatic UVB at 300 nm. We also demonstrate that post-irradiation incubation in the dark is required for both mutational processes, suggesting that cytosine deamination is required for both the Pol η/ζ-dependent and the photoreversal-dependent mechanisms. Another Y-family polymerase Pol ι also mediated a mutagenic TLS on UV-damaged templates when combined with Pol ζ. The Pol ι-dependent mutations were largely independent of post-irradiation incubation, indicating that cytosine deamination was not essential for this mutational process. Sunlight-exposure also induced C > A transversions which were likely caused by oxidation of guanine residues. Finally, we constructed in vitro mutation spectra in a comparable format to cancer mutation signatures. While both Pol η-dependent and photoreversal-dependent spectra showed high similarities to a cancer signature (SBS7a), Pol ι-dependent mutation spectrum has distinct T > A/C substitutions, which are found in another cancer signature (SBS7d). The Pol ι-dependent T > A/C substitutions were resistant to T4 pyrimidine dimer glycosylase-treatment, suggesting that this mutational process is independent of cis-syn pyrimidine dimers. An updated model about multiple mechanisms of UV-induced mutagenesis is discussed.

Abstract
To bypass a diverse range of fork stalling impediments encountered during genome replication, cells possess a variety of DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mechanisms including translesion synthesis, template switching, and fork reversal. These pathways function to bypass obstacles and allow efficient DNA synthesis to be maintained. In addition, lagging strand obstacles can also be circumvented by downstream priming during Okazaki fragment generation, leaving gaps to be filled post-replication. Whether repriming occurs on the leading strand has been intensely debated over the past half-century. Early studies indicated that both DNA strands were synthesised discontinuously. Although later studies suggested that leading strand synthesis was continuous, leading to the preferred semi-discontinuous replication model. However, more recently it has been established that replicative primases can perform leading strand repriming in prokaryotes. An analogous fork restart mechanism has also been identified in most eukaryotes, which possess a specialist primase called PrimPol that conducts repriming downstream of stalling lesions and structures. PrimPol also plays a more general role in maintaining efficient fork progression. Here, we review and discuss the historical evidence and recent discoveries that substantiate repriming as an intrinsic replication restart pathway for maintaining efficient genome duplication across all domains of life.

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.

Abstract
The replicative polymerase δ (Polδ), consisting of four subunits, plays a pivotal role in chromosomal replication. Pold4, the smallest subunit of Polδ, is believed to contribute to the regulation of replication by facilitating repair in response to DNA damage. However, that contribution has not been fully elucidated. We here show that Pold4 contributes to the suppression of gene conversion in immunoglobulin-variable (IgV) gene diversification in the chicken DT40 lymphocyte cell line, where gene conversion diversifies the IgV gene through intragenic homologous recombination (HR) between diverged pseudo-V segments. IgV gene conversion is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase-mediated uracil formation in the IgV gene, which in turn converts into an abasic site, leading to replication arrest. POLD4-/- cells exhibited an increased rate of IgV gene conversion. Moreover, the gene-conversion tract was lengthened and the usage of pseudo-V segments was altered, showing a preference, to use the diverged sequence as a donor in POLD4-/- cells. These data suggest that Pold4 is involved in the regulation of HR-mediated gene conversion in IgV diversification. By contrast, the rate in HR-mediated, sister-chromatid exchange and gene-targeting induced by an I-SceI endonclease-mediated DNA double-strand break exhibited by POLD4-/- cells was indistinguishable from that by wild-type cells. These findings indicate that the functionality of general HR is preserved in POLD4-/- cells. In conclusion, Pold4 is involved in the suppression of IgV-gene conversion without affecting the general functionality of HR.

Abstract
DNA replication stress (DRS) is a predominant cause of genome instability, a driver of tumorigenesis and malignant progression. Nucleoside analogue-type chemotherapeutic drugs introduce DNA damage and exacerbate DRS in tumor cells. However, the mechanisms underlying the antitumor effect of these drugs are not fully understood. Here, we show that the fluorinated thymidine analogue trifluridine (FTD), an active component of the chemotherapeutic drug trifluridine/tipiracil, delayed DNA synthesis by human replicative DNA polymerases by acting both as an inefficient deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate source (FTD triphosphate) and as an obstacle base (trifluorothymine) in the template DNA strand, which caused DRS. In cells, FTD decreased the thymidine triphosphate level in the dNTP pool and increased the FTD triphosphate level, resulting in the activation of DRS-induced cellular responses during S-phase. In addition, replication protein A-coated single-stranded DNA associated with FancD2 and accumulated after tumor cells completed S-phase. Finally, FTD activated the p53-p21 pathway and suppressed tumor cell growth by inducing cellular senescence via mitosis skipping. In contrast, tumor cells that lost wild-type p53 underwent apoptotic cell death via aberrant late mitosis with severely impaired separation of sister chromatids. These results demonstrate that DRS induced by a nucleoside analogue-type chemotherapeutic drug suppresses tumor growth irrespective of p53 status by directing tumor cell fate toward cellular senescence or apoptotic cell death according to p53 status. IMPLICATIONS: Chemotherapeutic drugs that increase DRS during S-phase but allow tumor cells to complete S-phase may have significant antitumor activity even when functional p53 is lost.

Abstract
The (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproduct [(6-4)PP] is a major DNA lesion induced by ultraviolet radiation. (6-4)PP induces complex mutations opposite its downstream bases, in addition to opposite 3' or 5' base, as has been observed through a site-specific translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) assay. The mechanism by which these mutations occur is not well understood. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying mutagenesis induced by (6-4)PP, we performed an intracellular TLS assay using a replicative vector with site-specific T(thymidine)-T (6-4)PP. Rev3-/-p53-/- mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells (defective in Polζ) were almost completely defective in bypassing T-T (6-4)PP, whereas both Rev1-/- and Polh-/-Poli-/-Polk-/- MEF cells (defective in Polη, Polι, and Polκ) presented bypassing activity comparable to that of wild-type cells, indicating that Y-family TLS polymerases are dispensable for bypassing activity, whereas Polζ plays an essential role, probably at the extension step. Among all cells tested, misincorporation occurred most frequently just beyond the lesion (position +1), indicating that the Polζ-dependent extension step is crucial for (6-4)PP-induced mutagenesis. We then examined the effects of sequence context on T-T (6-4)PP bypass using a series of T-T (6-4)PP templates with different sequences at position +1 or -1 to the lesion, and found that the dependency of T-T (6-4)PP bypass on Polζ is not sequence specific. However, the misincorporation frequency at position +1 differed significantly among these templates. The misincorporation of A at position +1 occurred frequently when a purine base was located at position -1. These results indicate that Polζ-dependent extension plays a major role in inducing base substitutions in (6-4)PP-induced mutagenesis, and its fidelity is affected by sequence context surrounding a lesion.

Abstract
Werner helicase-interacting protein 1 (WRNIP1) was originally identified as a protein that interacts with WRN, the product of the gene responsible for Werner syndrome. Our previous studies suggested that WRNIP1 is implicated in translesion synthesis (TLS), a process in which specialized TLS polymerases replace replicative DNA polymerase and take over DNA synthesis on damaged templates. We proposed that a novel error-free pathway involving DNA polymerase δ and primase-polymerase (PrimPol) functions to synthesize DNA on UV-damaged DNA templates in the absence of WRNIP1 and the TLS polymerase Polη. Hence, in the current study, we analyzed the relationship between WRNIP1 and PrimPol. We found that WRNIP1 and PrimPol form a complex in cells. PrimPol protein expression was reduced in cells overexpressing WRNIP1, but was increased in WRNIP1-depleted cells. The WRNIP1-mediated reduction in the amount of PrimPol was suppressed by treatment of the cells with proteasome inhibitors, suggesting that WRNIP1 is involved in the degradation of PrimPol via the proteasome.

Abstract
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a multifunctional protein present in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells that plays an important role as a component of the DNA replication machinery, as well as DNA repair systems. PCNA was recently proposed as a potential non-oncogenic target for anti-cancer therapy. In this study, using the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) method, we developed a short DNA aptamer that binds human PCNA. In the presence of PCNA, the anti-PCNA aptamer inhibited the activity of human DNA polymerase δ and ϵ at nM concentrations. Moreover, PCNA protected the anti-PCNA aptamer against the exonucleolytic activity of these DNA polymerases. Investigation of the mechanism of anti-PCNA aptamer-dependent inhibition of DNA replication revealed that the aptamer did not block formation, but was a component of PCNA/DNA polymerase δ or ϵ complexes. Additionally, the anti-PCNA aptamer competed with the primer-template DNA for binding to the PCNA/DNA polymerase δ or ϵ complex. Based on the observations, a model of anti-PCNA aptamer/PCNA complex-dependent inhibition of DNA replication was proposed.

Abstract
Accurate transmission of the genetic information requires complete duplication of the chromosomal DNA each cell division cycle. However, the idea that replication forks would form at origins of DNA replication and proceed without impairment to copy the chromosomes has proven naive. It is now clear that replication forks stall frequently as a result of encounters between the replication machinery and template damage, slow-moving or paused transcription complexes, unrelieved positive superhelical tension, covalent protein-DNA complexes, and as a result of cellular stress responses. These stalled forks are a major source of genome instability. The cell has developed many strategies for ensuring that these obstructions to DNA replication do not result in loss of genetic information, including DNA damage tolerance mechanisms such as lesion skipping, whereby the replisome jumps the lesion and continues downstream; template switching both behind template damage and at the stalled fork; and the error-prone pathway of translesion synthesis.

Abstract
The alternative proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-loader CTF18-RFC forms a stable complex with DNA polymerase ε (Polε). We observed that, under near-physiological conditions, CTF18-RFC alone loaded PCNA inefficiently, but loaded it efficiently when complexed with Polε. During efficient PCNA loading, CTF18-RFC and Polε assembled at a 3΄ primer–template junction cooperatively, and directed PCNA to the loading site. Site-specific photo-crosslinking of directly interacting proteins at the primer–template junction showed similar cooperative binding, in which the catalytic N-terminal portion of Polε acted as the major docking protein. In the PCNA-loading intermediate with ATPγS, binding of CTF18 to the DNA structures increased, suggesting transient access of CTF18-RFC to the primer terminus. Polε placed in DNA synthesis mode using a substrate DNA with a deoxidised 3΄ primer end did not stimulate PCNA loading, suggesting that DNA synthesis and PCNA loading are mutually exclusive at the 3΄ primer–template junction. Furthermore, PCNA and CTF18-RFC–Polε complex engaged in stable trimeric assembly on the template DNA and synthesised DNA efficiently. Thus, CTF18-RFC appears to be involved in leading-strand DNA synthesis through its interaction with Polε, and can load PCNA onto DNA when Polε is not in DNA synthesis mode to restore DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Life as we know it, simply would not exist without DNA replication. All living organisms utilize a complex machinery to duplicate their genomes and the central role in this machinery belongs to replicative DNA polymerases, enzymes that are specifically designed to copy DNA. "Hassle-free" DNA duplication exists only in an ideal world, while in real life, it is constantly threatened by a myriad of diverse challenges. Among the most pressing obstacles that replicative polymerases often cannot overcome by themselves are lesions that distort the structure of DNA. Despite elaborate systems that cells utilize to cleanse their genomes of damaged DNA, repair is often incomplete. The persistence of DNA lesions obstructing the cellular replicases can have deleterious consequences. One of the mechanisms allowing cells to complete replication is "Translesion DNA Synthesis (TLS)". TLS is intrinsically error-prone, but apparently, the potential downside of increased mutagenesis is a healthier outcome for the cell than incomplete replication. Although most of the currently identified eukaryotic DNA polymerases have been implicated in TLS, the best characterized are those belonging to the "Y-family" of DNA polymerases (pols η, ι, κ and Rev1), which are thought to play major roles in the TLS of persisting DNA lesions in coordination with the B-family polymerase, pol ζ. In this review, we summarize the unique features of these DNA polymerases by mainly focusing on their biochemical and structural characteristics, as well as potential protein-protein interactions with other critical factors affecting TLS regulation.

Abstract
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) operates when replicative polymerases are blocked by DNA lesions. To investigate the mechanism of mammalian TLS, we employed a plasmid bearing a single 7-(deoxyadenosine-N6-yl)-aristolactam I (dA-AL-I) adduct, which is generated by the human carcinogen, aristolochic acid I, and genetically engineered mouse embryonic fibroblasts. This lesion induces A to T transversions at a high frequency. The simultaneous knockouts of the Polh, Poli and Polk genes did not influence the TLS efficiency or the coding property of dA-AL-I, indicating that an unknown DNA polymerase(s) can efficiently catalyze the insertion of a nucleotide opposite the adduct and subsequent extension. Similarly, knockout of the Rev1 gene did not significantly affect TLS. However, knockout of the Rev3l gene, coding for the catalytic subunit of polζ, drastically suppressed TLS and abolished dA-AL-I to T transversions. The results support the idea that Rev1 is not essential for the cellular TLS functions of polζ in mammalian cells. Furthermore, the frequency of dA-AL-I to T transversion was affected by a sequence context, suggesting that TLS, at least in part, contributes to the formation of mutational hot and cold spots observed in aristolochic acid-induced cancers.

Abstract
The intolerance of DNA polymerase δ (Polδ) to incorrect base pairing contributes to its extremely high accuracy during replication, but is believed to inhibit translesion synthesis (TLS). However, chicken DT40 cells lacking the POLD3 subunit of Polδ are deficient in TLS. Previous genetic and biochemical analysis showed that POLD3 may promote lesion bypass by Polδ itself independently of the translesion polymerase Polζ of which POLD3 is also a subunit. To test this hypothesis, we have inactivated Polδ proofreading in pold3 cells. This significantly restored TLS in pold3 mutants, enhancing dA incorporation opposite abasic sites. Purified proofreading-deficient human Polδ holoenzyme performs TLS of abasic sites in vitro much more efficiently than the wild type enzyme, with over 90% of TLS events resulting in dA incorporation. Furthermore, proofreading deficiency enhances the capability of Polδ to continue DNA synthesis over UV lesions both in vivo and in vitro. These data support Polδ contributing to TLS in vivo and suggest that the mutagenesis resulting from loss of Polδ proofreading activity may in part be explained by enhanced lesion bypass.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, DNA polymerase δ (pol δ) is responsible for replicating the lagging strand template and anchors to the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) sliding clamp to form a holoenzyme. The stability of this complex is integral to every aspect of lagging strand replication. Most of our understanding comes from Saccharomyces cerevisae where the extreme stability of the pol δ holoenzyme ensures that every nucleobase within an Okazaki fragment is faithfully duplicated before dissociation but also necessitates an active displacement mechanism for polymerase recycling and exchange. However, the stability of the human pol δ holoenzyme is unknown. We designed unique kinetic assays to analyze the processivity and stability of the pol δ holoenzyme. Surprisingly, the results indicate that human pol δ maintains a loose association with PCNA while replicating DNA. Such behavior has profound implications on Okazaki fragment synthesis in humans as it limits the processivity of pol δ on undamaged DNA and promotes the rapid dissociation of pol δ from PCNA on stalling at a DNA lesion.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene and N-nitrosodimethylamine are major genotoxic compounds present in cigarette smoke, food and oil. To examine the type(s) of DNA damage induced by these compounds, we used a panel of DNA-repair-pathway-deficient mutants generated from chicken DT40 cells and achieved metabolic activation of the test compounds by including rat liver S9 mix. Consistent with expections, benzo[a]pyrene and N-nitrosodimethylamine require metabolicactivation to become genotoxic. The REV3(-/-) mutant cell line exhibited the highest sensitivity, in terms of increased cytotoxicity, to the both compounds after metabolic activation consistent with the known ability of these two compounds to induce DNA adducts. Strikingly, we found that the RAD54(-/-)/KU70(-/-) cell line, a mutant defective in the repair of double-strand breaks, is sensitive to benzo[a]pyrene, suggesting that this compound also induces strand breaks in these cells. In this study we combined a previously employed method, metabolic activation by S9 mix, with the use of a DNA-repair mutant panel, thereby broadening the range of compounds that can be screened for potential genotoxicity.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) is a human rare inherited recessive disease, predisposed to sunlight-induced skin cancer, which is caused by deficiency in DNA polymerase η (Polη). Polη catalyzes accurate translesion synthesis (TLS) past pyrimidine dimers, the most prominent UV-induced lesions. DNA polymerase ι (Polι) is a paralog of Polη that has been suggested to participate in TLS past UV-induced lesions, but its function in vivo remains uncertain. We have previously reported that Polη-deficient and Polη/Polι double-deficient mice showed increased susceptibility to UV-induced carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated UV-induced mutation frequencies and spectra in the epidermal cells of Polη- and/or Polι-deficient mice. While Polη-deficient mice showed significantly higher UV-induced mutation frequencies than wild-type mice, Polι deficiency did not influence the frequencies in the presence of Polη. Interestingly, the frequencies in Polη/Polι double-deficient mice were statistically lower than those in Polη-deficient mice, although they were still higher than those of wild-type mice. Sequence analysis revealed that most of the UV-induced mutations in Polη-deficient and Polη/Polι double-deficient mice were base substitutions at dipyrimidine sites. An increase in UV-induced mutations at both G:C and A:T pairs associated with Polη deficiency suggests that Polη contributes to accurate TLS past both thymine- and cytosine-containing dimers in vivo. A significant decrease in G:C to A:T transition in Polη/Polι double-deficient mice when compared with Polη-deficient mice suggests that Polι is involved in error-prone TLS past cytosine-containing dimers when Polη is inactivated.

Abstract
The replicative DNA polymerase Polδ consists of a catalytic subunit POLD1/p125 and three regulatory subunits POLD2/p50, POLD3/p66 and POLD4/p12. The ortholog of POLD3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pol32, is required for a significant proportion of spontaneous and UV-induced mutagenesis through its additional role in translesion synthesis (TLS) as a subunit of DNA polymerase ζ. Remarkably, chicken DT40 B lymphocytes deficient in POLD3 are viable and able to replicate undamaged genomic DNA with normal kinetics. Like its counterpart in yeast, POLD3 is required for fully effective TLS, its loss resulting in hypersensitivity to a variety of DNA damaging agents, a diminished ability to maintain replication fork progression after UV irradiation and a significant decrease in abasic site-induced mutagenesis in the immunoglobulin loci. However, these defects appear to be largely independent of Polζ, suggesting that POLD3 makes a significant contribution to TLS independently of Polζ in DT40 cells. Indeed, combining polη, polζ and pold3 mutations results in synthetic lethality. Additionally, we show in vitro that POLD3 promotes extension beyond an abasic by the Polδ holoenzyme suggesting that while POLD3 is not required for normal replication, it may help Polδ to complete abasic site bypass independently of canonical TLS polymerases.

Abstract
WRNIP1 (WRN-interacting protein 1) was first identified as a factor that interacts with WRN, the protein that is defective in Werner syndrome (WS). WRNIP1 associates with DNA polymerase η (Polη), but the biological significance of this interaction remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed the functional interaction between WRNIP1 and Polη by generating knockouts of both genes in DT40 chicken cells. Disruption of WRNIP1 in Polη-disrupted (POLH(-/-)) cells suppressed the phenotypes associated with the loss of Polη: sensitivity to ultraviolet light (UV), delayed repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), elevated frequency of mutation, elevated levels of UV-induced sister chromatid exchange (SCE), and reduced rate of fork progression after UV irradiation. These results suggest that WRNIP1 functions upstream of Polη in the response to UV irradiation.

PrimPol bypasses UV photoproducts during eukaryotic chromosomal DNA replication. Mol Cell 2014; 52:566-73.

Abstract
DNA damage can stall the DNA replication machinery, leading to genomic instability. Thus, numerous mechanisms exist to complete genome duplication in the absence of a pristine DNA template, but identification of the enzymes involved remains incomplete. Here, we establish that Primase-Polymerase (PrimPol; CCDC111), an archaeal-eukaryotic primase (AEP) in eukaryotic cells, is involved in chromosomal DNA replication. PrimPol is required for replication fork progression on ultraviolet (UV) light-damaged DNA templates, possibly mediated by its ability to catalyze translesion synthesis (TLS) of these lesions. This PrimPol UV lesion bypass pathway is not epistatic with the Pol η-dependent pathway and, as a consequence, protects xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) patient cells from UV-induced cytotoxicity. In addition, we establish that PrimPol is also required for efficient replication fork progression during an unperturbed S phase. These and other findings indicate that PrimPol is an important player in replication fork progression in eukaryotic cells. PrimPol is a DNA primase-polymerase catalyzing bypass of UV and oxidative lesions PrimPol operates in a UV lesion tolerance pathway that is non-epistatic with Pol η PrimPol null cells are defective in fork progression, particularly after UV treatment Loss of PrimPol leads to increased mitotic chromosomal breaks

Abstract
Translesion synthesis (TLS) provides a mechanism of copying damaged templates during DNA replication. This potentially mutagenic process may operate either at the replication fork or at post-replicative gaps. We used the example of T-T cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) bypass to determine the influence of polymerase recruitment via PCNA ubiquitylation versus the REV1 protein on the efficiency and mutagenic outcome of TLS. Using mutant chicken DT40 cell lines we show that, on this numerically most important UV lesion, defects in polymerase η or in PCNA ubiquitylation similarly result in the long-term failure of lesion bypass with persistent strand gaps opposite the lesion, and the elevation of mutations amongst successful TLS events. Our data suggest that PCNA ubiquitylation promotes CPD bypass mainly by recruiting polymerase η, resulting in the majority of CPD lesions bypassed in an error-free manner. In contrast, we find that polymerase ζ is responsible for the majority of CPD-dependent mutations, but has no essential function in the completion of bypass. These findings point to a hierarchy of access of the different TLS polymerases to the lesion, suggesting a temporal order of their recruitment. The similarity of REV1 and REV3 mutant phenotypes confirms that the involvement of polymerase ζ in TLS is largely determined by its recruitment to DNA by REV1. Our data demonstrate the influence of the TLS polymerase recruitment mechanism on the success and accuracy of bypass.

Abstract
The DNA synthesis across DNA lesions, termed translesion synthesis (TLS), is a complex process influenced by various factors. To investigate this process in mammalian cells, we examined TLS across a benzo[a]pyrene dihydrodiol epoxide-derived dG adduct (BPDE-dG) using a plasmid bearing a single BPDE-dG and genetically engineered mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). In wild-type MEFs, TLS was extremely miscoding (>90%) with G → T transversions being predominant. Knockout of the Rev1 gene decreased both the TLS efficiency and the miscoding frequency. Knockout of the Rev3L gene, coding for the catalytic subunit of pol ζ, caused even greater decreases in these two TLS parameters; almost all residual TLS were error-free. Thus, REV1 and pol ζ are critical to mutagenic, but not accurate, TLS across BPDE-dG. The introduction of human REV1 cDNA into Rev1(-/-) MEFs restored the mutagenic TLS, but a REV1 mutant lacking the C terminus did not. Yeast and mammalian three-hybrid assays revealed that the REV7 subunit of pol ζ mediated the interaction between REV3 and the REV1 C terminus. These results support the hypothesis that REV1 recruits pol ζ through the interaction with REV7. Our results also predict the existence of a minor REV1-independent pol ζ recruitment pathway. Finally, although mutagenic TLS across BPDE-dG largely depends on RAD18, experiments using Polk(-/-) Polh(-/-) Poli(-/-) triple-gene knockout MEFs unexpectedly revealed that another polymerase(s) could insert a nucleotide opposite BPDE-dG. This indicates that a non-Y family polymerase(s) can insert a nucleotide opposite BPDE-dG, but the subsequent extension from miscoding termini depends on REV1-polζ in a RAD18-dependent manner.
