Balint E, Unk I. For the Better or for the Worse? The Effect of Manganese on the Activity of Eukaryotic DNA Polymerases. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:363.

Abstract
DNA polymerases constitute a versatile group of enzymes that not only perform the essential task of genome duplication but also participate in various genome maintenance pathways, such as base and nucleotide excision repair, non-homologous end-joining, homologous recombination, and translesion synthesis. Polymerases catalyze DNA synthesis via the stepwise addition of deoxynucleoside monophosphates to the 3' primer end in a partially double-stranded DNA. They require divalent metal cations coordinated by active site residues of the polymerase. Mg2+ is considered the likely physiological activator because of its high cellular concentration and ability to activate DNA polymerases universally. Mn2+ can also activate the known DNA polymerases, but in most cases, it causes a significant decrease in fidelity and/or processivity. Hence, Mn2+ has been considered mutagenic and irrelevant during normal cellular function. Intriguingly, a growing body of evidence indicates that Mn2+ can positively influence some DNA polymerases by conferring translesion synthesis activity or altering the substrate specificity. Here, we review the relevant literature focusing on the impact of Mn2+ on the biochemical activity of a selected set of polymerases, namely, Polβ, Polλ, and Polµ, of the X family, as well as Polι and Polη of the Y family of polymerases, where congruous data implicate the physiological relevance of Mn2+ in the cellular function of these enzymes.

Abstract
DNA polymerases β are enzymes that perform repair of damaged DNA. In the cells of malignant tumors, there is a change in the production and properties of these enzymes, which is accompanied by altered viability of tumor cells. Analysis of the publications available in Russian and international databases (Pubmed, Elsevier) on the structure and properties of DNA polymerases β and their role in cell growth and proliferation, published over the past 20 years, has shown overexpression of genes encoding β-like DNA polymerases in many types of malignant tumors cells. This explains the maintenance of their viability and proliferative activity. Targeted inhibition of β-like DNA polymerases is accompanied by antiproliferative and antitumor effects. Stable paramagnetic isotopes of magnesium (25Mg2+) or other divalent metals (43Ca2+ and 67Zn2+) with uncompensated nuclear spin isotopes, as well as short single-stranded polydeoxyribonucleotides, can be used as promising antitumor pharmacophores.

Abstract
In response to DNA damage, cells have developed a sophisticated signaling pathway, consisting of DNA damage sensors, transducers, and effectors, to ensure efficient and proper repair of damaged DNA. During this process, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are central events that modulate the recruitment, dissociation, and activation of DNA repair proteins at damage sites. Emerging evidence reveals that protein arginine methylation is one of the common PTMs and plays critical roles in DNA damage response. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) either directly methylate DNA repair proteins or deposit methylation marks on histones to regulate their transcription, RNA splicing, protein stability, interaction with partners, enzymatic activities, and localization. In this review, we summarize the substrates and roles of each PRMTs in DNA damage response and discuss the synergistic anticancer effects of PRMTs and DNA damage pathway inhibitors, providing insight into the significance of arginine methylation in the maintenance of genome integrity and cancer therapies.

Abstract
Background DNA polymerase β is one of the key enzymes involved in DNA damage repair and its proper expression is strictly controlled within different cells. We previously reported that three genetic mutations in the promoter region of the polb gene are prevalent in the Chinese Han population and two types of mutation are associated with thymic hyperplasia. The purpose of this study was to explore whether other mutated sites exist within the promoter region of the polb gene. Methods Genomic DNAs of 421 healthy Chinese Han individuals were extracted from whole blood samples and used for gene amplification of the promoter region of the polb gene. After gel purification, PCR amplicons were sequenced by the Sanger sequencing method and used for sequence alignment with the Lasergene program. PCR products with novel mutations were then subcloned into luciferase reporter plasmid pGL4.10 and transfected into 293T cells for dual‐luciferase activity analysis. Results In total, 11 mutated sites were detected in the Chinese Han population and eight of these were reported for the first time. Using a dual luciferase reporter system, it was found that one novel mutation −142 C > G could decrease the transcription activity of the polb gene, whereas two novel mutations, −152_−151insC and −218 C > G, could significantly increase the transcription activity of the polb gene. Conclusions High polymorphic sites could be found in the promoter region of polb gene and approximately half of them could influence its transcription activity.

Abstract
Nucleoside 5'-triphosphate (dNTP) analogues in which the β,γ-oxygen is mimicked by a CXY group (β,γ-CXY-dNTPs) have provided information about DNA polymerase catalysis and fidelity. Definition of CXY stereochemistry is important to elucidate precise binding modes. We previously reported the (R)- and (S)-β,γ-CHX-dGTP diastereomers (X = F, Cl), prepared via P,C-dimorpholinamide CHCl (6a, 6b) and CHF (7a, 7b) bisphosphonates (BPs) equipped with an (R)-mandelic acid as a chiral auxiliary, with final deprotection using H2/Pd. This method also affords the β,γ-CHCl-dTTP (11a, 11b), β,γ-CHF (12a, 12b), and β,γ-CHCl (13a, 13b) dATP diastereomers as documented here, but the reductive deprotection step is not compatible with dCTP or the bromo substituent in β,γ-CHBr-dNTP analogues. To complete assembly of the toolkit, we describe an alternative synthetic strategy featuring ethylbenzylamine or phenylglycine-derived chiral BP synthons incorporating a photolabile protecting group. After acid-catalyzed removal of the (R)-(+)-α-ethylbenzylamine auxiliary, coupling with activated dCMP and photochemical deprotection, the individual diastereomers of β,γ-CHBr- (33a, 33b), β,γ-CHCl- (34a, 34b), β,γ-CHF-dCTP (35a, 35b) were obtained. The β,γ-CH(CH3)-dATPs (44a, 44b) were obtained using a methyl (R)-(-)-phenylglycinate auxiliary. 31P and 19F NMR Δδ values are correlated with CXY stereochemistry and pKa2-4 values for 13 CXY-bisphosphonic acids and imidodiphosphonic acid are tabulated.

Abstract
Polymerase δ-interacting protein 2 (PolDIP2) is involved in the multiple protein-protein interactions and plays roles in many cellular processes including regulation of the nuclear redox environment, organization of the mitotic spindle and chromosome segregation, pre-mRNA processing, mitochondrial morphology and functions, cell migration and cellular adhesion. PolDIP2 is also a binding partner of high-fidelity DNA polymerase delta, PCNA and a number of translesion and repair DNA polymerases. The growing evidence suggests that PolDIP2 is a general regulatory protein in DNA damage response. However PolDIP2 functions in DNA translesion synthesis and repair are not fully understood. In this review, we address the functional interaction of PolDIP2 with human DNA polymerases and discuss the possible functions in DNA damage response.

Abstract
Free radical attack on C1' of deoxyribose forms the oxidized abasic (AP) site 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL). In vitro, dL traps the major base excision DNA repair enzyme DNA polymerase beta (Polβ) in covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) via the enzyme's N-terminal lyase activity acting on 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate residues. We previously demonstrated formation of Polβ-DPC in cells challenged with oxidants generating significant levels of dL. Proteasome inhibition under 1,10-copper-ortho-phenanthroline (CuOP) treatment significantly increased Polβ-DPC accumulation and trapped ubiquitin in the DPC, with Polβ accounting for 60-70 % of the total ubiquitin signal. However, the identity of the remaining oxidative ubiquityl-DPC remained unknown. In this report, we surveyed whether additional AP lyases are trapped in oxidative DPC in mammalian cells in culture. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), Ku proteins, DNA polymerase λ (Polλ), and the bifunctional 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), were all trapped in oxidative DPC in mammalian cells. We also observed significant trapping of Polλ, PARP1, and OGG1 in cells treated with the alkylating agent methylmethane sulfonate (MMS), in addition to dL-inducing agents. Ku proteins, in contrast, followed a pattern of trapping similar to that for Polβ: MMS failed to produce Ku-DPC, while treatment with CuOP or (less effectively) H2O2 gave rise to significant Ku-DPC. Unexpectedly, NEIL1 and NEIL3 were trapped following H2O2 treatment, but not detectably in cells exposed to CuOP. The half-life of all the AP lyase-DPC ranged from 15-60 min, consistent with their active repair. Accordingly, CuOP treatment under proteasome inhibition significantly increased the observed levels of DPC in cultured mammalian cells containing PARP1, Ku protein, Polλ, and OGG1 proteins. As seen for Polβ, blocking the proteasome led to the accumulation of DPC containing ubiquitin. Thus, the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic mechanisms that control Polβ-DPC removal may also apply to a broad array of oxidative AP lyase-DPC, preventing their toxic accumulation in cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of new chemotherapeutic agents still remains a continuous goal to achieve. DNA polymerases and topoisomerases act in nucleic acids metabolism modulating different processes like replication, mitosis, damage repair, DNA topology and transcription. It has been widely documented that Polymerases serve as molecular targets for antiviral and antitumoral chemotherapy. Furthermore, telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein with exacerbated activity in most of the tumor cell lines, becoming as an emergent target in Cancer treatment. METHODS We undertook an exhaustive search of bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed research literature related to the last decade. The characteristics of screened bibliography describe structure activity relationships and show the principal moieties involved. This work tries to summarize the investigation about natural and semi-synthetic products with natural origin with the faculty to inhibit key enzymes that play a crucial role in DNA metabolism. RESULTS Eighty-five data references were included in this review, showing natural products widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom and their bioactive properties such as tumor growing inhibitory effects, and anti-AIDS activity. CONCLUSION The findings of this review confirm the importance to find new drugs and biologically active natural products, and their potential medicinally useful benefits.

Abstract
DNA-protein crosslinks represent a severe kind of DNA damage as they disturb essential processes, such as transcription and DNA replication, due to their bulkiness. To ensure the maintenance of genome integrity, it is necessary for all living organisms to repair these lesions in a timely manner. Over recent years, much knowledge has been obtained regarding the repair of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC), but it was only recently that the first insights into the mechanisms of DPC repair in plants were obtained. The plant DPC repair network consists of at least three parallel pathways that resolve DPC by distinct biochemical mechanisms. The endonuclease MUS81 resolves the DPC by cleaving the DNA part of the crosslink, the protease WSS1A is able to degrade the protein part and the tyrosyl-DNA-phosphodiesterase TDP1 can hydrolyse the crosslink between a protein and the DNA. However, due to the variety of different DPC types and the evolutionary conservation of pathways between eukaryotes, we expect that future research will reveal additional factors involved in DPC repair in plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA polymerase β is one of the key enzymes for DNA repair and it was reported that about 30 percent of different types of cancers carried mutations in its coding gene Polb. However, it is still controversial whether it is true or false because of the small sample size in these studies. In current study, we performed genetic screening of promoter and coding regions of Polb gene in 69 Chinese lung cancer patients using Sanger sequencing method, so as to elucidate real mutation frequency of Polb mutations in Chinese Han population. METHODS Salting out extraction method was used to get the genome DNAs from tumor and normal matched tissues of 69 lung cancer patients. The promoter and 14 coding regions of Polb gene were then amplified using these DNAs as the template. After purification, amplicons were sequenced and aligned to the wild type Polb gene in NCBI database, in order to find out the mutated sites of Polb gene in Chinese lung cancer patients. RESULTS In this study, we totally found only 5 mutated sites in Polb gene. In detail, 3 mutations (-196G>T, -188_-187insCGCCC, -168C>A) were located in the promoter region; 2 mutations (587C>G, 612A>T) were found in coding regions. Specially, mutations of -188_-187insCGCCC and 587C>G (resulting to the amino acid substitution of Thr to Ser at position 196) had never been reported by other groups before. However, all these 5 mutated sites could be detected in both tumor and matched normal tissues, which inferred that they are not lung tumor specific mutations. CONCLUSIONS No lung tumor specific mutations of Polb gene could be found in Chinese lung cancer patients and Polb gene mutation might not be a molecular marker for Chinese lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Sensitivity and resistance of cells to platinum drug chemotherapy are to a large extent determined by activity of the DNA damage response (DDR). Combining chemotherapy with inhibition of specific DDR pathways could therefore improve treatment efficacy. Multiple DDR pathways have been implicated in removal of platinum-DNA lesions, but it is unclear which exact pathways are most important to cellular platinum drug resistance. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9 screening to identify DDR proteins that protect colorectal cancer cells against the clinically applied platinum drug oxaliplatin. We find that besides the expected homologous recombination, Fanconi anemia and translesion synthesis pathways, in particular also transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) and base excision repair (BER) protect against platinum-induced cytotoxicity. Both repair pathways are required to overcome oxaliplatin- and cisplatin-induced transcription arrest. In addition to the generation of DNA crosslinks, exposure to platinum drugs leads to reactive oxygen species production that induces oxidative DNA lesions, explaining the requirement for BER. Our findings highlight the importance of transcriptional integrity in cells exposed to platinum drugs and suggest that both TC-NER and BER should be considered as targets for novel combinatorial treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastomas (GBM) are one of the most aggressive tumor of the central nervous system with an average life expectancy of only 1-2 years after diagnosis, even with the use of advanced treatments with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There are several anticancer drugs with alkylating properties that have been used in the therapy of malignant gliomas. Temozolomide (TMZ) is one of them, widely used even in combination with ionizing radiation. However, the main disadvantage of using these types of drugs in the treatment of GBM is the development of cancer drug resistance. Research of bioactive compounds with anticancer activity has been heavily explored. PURPOSE This review focuses on a carotenoid and a phlorotannin present in seaweed, namely fucoxanthin and phloroglucinol, and their anticancer activity against glioblastoma. The combination of natural compounds with conventional drugs is also discussed. CONCLUSION Several natural compounds existing in seaweeds, such as fucoxanthin and phoroglucinol, have shown cytotoxic activity in models in vitro and in vivo, acting through different molecular mechanisms, such as antioxidant, antiproliferative, DNA damage/DNA repair, proapoptotic, antiangiogenic and antimetastic. Within the scope of interactions with conventional drugs, there are evidences that some seaweed compounds could be used to potentiate the action of anticancer drugs. However, their effects and mechanisms of action, alone or in combination with anticancer drugs, namely TMZ, in glioblastoma cell, still few explored and require more attention due to the unquestionable high potential of these marine compounds.

Abstract
This review focuses on the regulation and modulation of human DNA polymerase δ (Pol δ). The emphasis is on the mechanisms that regulate the activity and properties of Pol δ in DNA repair and replication. The areas covered are the degradation of the p12 subunit of Pol δ, which converts it from a heterotetramer (Pol δ4) to a heterotrimer (Pol δ3), in response to DNA damage and also during the cell cycle. The biochemical mechanisms that lead to degradation of p12 are reviewed, as well as the properties of Pol δ4 and Pol δ3 that provide insights into their functions in DNA replication and repair. The second focus of the review involves the functions of two Pol δ binding proteins, polymerase delta interaction protein 46 (PDIP46) and polymerase delta interaction protein 38 (PDIP38), both of which are multi-functional proteins. PDIP46 is a novel activator of Pol δ4, and the impact of this function is discussed in relation to its potential roles in DNA replication. Several new models for the roles of Pol δ3 and Pol δ4 in leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis that integrate a role for PDIP46 are presented. PDIP38 has multiple cellular localizations including the mitochondria, the spliceosomes and the nucleus. It has been implicated in a number of cellular functions, including the regulation of specialized DNA polymerases, mitosis, the DNA damage response, mouse double minute 2 homolog (Mdm2) alternative splicing and the regulation of the NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4).
