Promiscuous mismatch extension by human DNA polymerase lambda
DNA polymerase lambda (Pol lambda) is one of several DNA polymerases suggested to participate in base excision repair (BER), in repair of broken DNA ends and in translesion synthesis. It has been proposed that the nature of the DNA intermediates partly determines which polymerase is used for a particular repair reaction. To test this hypothesis, here we examine the ability of human Pol lambda t...
متن کاملHuman DNA Polymerase Promiscuous Mismatch Extension*
Human DNA polymerase is a low-fidelity template copier that preferentially catalyzes the incorporation of the wobble base G, rather than the Watson-Crick base A, opposite template T (Tissier, A., McDonald, J. P., Frank, E. G., and Woodgate, R. (2000) Genes Dev. 14, 1642–1650; Johnson, R. E., Washington, M. T., Haracska, L., Prakash, S., and Prakash, L. (2000) Nature 406, 1015– 1019; Zhang, Y., ...
متن کاملMismatch extension ability of yeast and human DNA polymerase eta.
DNA polymerase eta (Poleta) functions in error-free replication of UV-damaged DNA, and in vitro it efficiently bypasses a cis-syn T-T dimer by incorporating two adenines opposite the lesion. Steady state kinetic studies have shown that both yeast and human Poleta are low-fidelity enzymes, and they misincorporate nucleotides with a frequency of 10(-2)-10(-3) on both undamaged and T-T dimer-conta...
متن کاملPromiscuous DNA synthesis by human DNA polymerase θ
The biological role of human DNA polymerase θ (POLQ) is not yet clearly defined, but it has been proposed to participate in several cellular processes based on its translesion synthesis capabilities. POLQ is a low-fidelity polymerase capable of efficient bypass of blocking lesions such as abasic sites and thymine glycols as well as extension of mismatched primer termini. Here, we show that POLQ...
متن کاملEnhanced fidelity in mismatch extension by DNA polymerase through directed combinatorial enzyme design.
The fidelity of DNA polymerase activity is of central importance for numerous biotechnological applications.r1.21 The imperfect fidelity of DNA polymerases under the unnatural conditions of several techniques such as those of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) either restricts the application of these enzymes or demands their tedious optimization. Thus, a prime target for the design of DNA pol...
