The human checkpoint sensor and alternative clamp Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 can interact with and specifically stimulate DNA ligase I. The very recently described interactions of Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 with MutY DNA glycosylase, DNA polymerase β and Flap endonuclease 1 now complete our view that the long-patch base excision machinery is an important target of the Rad9–Rad1–Hus1 complex, thus enhancing the quality control of DNA.

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase deaminates cytosine to uracil (dU) in DNA, which leads to mutations at C:G basepairs in immunoglobulin genes during somatic hypermutation. The mechanism that generates mutations at A:T basepairs, however, remains unclear. It appears to require the MSH2–MSH6 mismatch repair heterodimer and DNA polymerase (pol) η, as mutations of A:T are decreased in mice and humans lacking these proteins. Here, we demonstrate that these proteins interact physically and functionally. First, we show that MSH2–MSH6 binds to a U:G mismatch but not to other DNA intermediates produced during base excision repair of dUs, including an abasic site and a deoxyribose phosphate group. Second, MSH2 binds to pol η in solution, and endogenous MSH2 associates with the pol in cell extracts. Third, MSH2–MSH6 stimulates the catalytic activity of pol η in vitro. These observations suggest that the interaction between MSH2–MSH6 and DNA pol η stimulates synthesis of mutations at bases located downstream of the initial dU lesion, including A:T pairs.

We report here that DNA polymerase β (pol β), the base excision repair polymerase, is highly expressed in human melanoma tissues, known to be associated with UV radiation exposure. To investigate the potential role of pol β in UV-induced genetic instability, we analyzed the cellular and molecular effects of excess pol β. We firstly demonstrated that mammalian cells overexpressing pol β are resistant and hypermutagenic after UV irradiation and that replicative extracts from these cells are able to catalyze complete translesion replication of a thymine-thymine cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). By usingin vitroprimer extension reactions with purified pol β, we showed that CPD as well as, to a lesser extent, the thymine-thymine pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct, were bypassed. pol β mostly incorporates the correct dATP opposite the 3′-terminus of both CPD and the (6-4) photoproduct but can also misinsert dCTP at a frequency of 32 and 26%, respectively. In the case of CPD, efficient and error-prone extension of the correct dATP was found. These data support a biological role of pol β in UV lesion bypass and suggest that deregulated pol β may enhance UV-induced genetic instability.
