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.

The extent and location of DNA repair synthesis in a double-stranded oligonucleotide containing a single dUMP residue have been determined. Gently prepared Escherichia coli and mammalian cell extracts were employed for excision repair in vitro. The size of the resynthesized patch was estimated by restriction enzyme analysis of the repaired oligonucleotide. Following enzymatic digestion and denaturing gel electrophoresis, the extent of incorporation of radioactively labeled nucleotides in the vicinity of the lesion was determined by autoradiography. Cell extracts of E. coli and of human cell lines were shown to carry out repair mainly by replacing a single nucleotide. No significant repair replication on the 5' side of the lesion was observed. The data indicate that, after cleavage of the dUMP residue by uracil-DNA glycosylase and incision of the resultant apurinic-apyrimidinic site by an apurinic-apyrimidinic endonuclease activity, the excision step is catalyzed usually by a DNA deoxyribophosphodiesterase rather than by an exonuclease. Gap-filling and ligation complete the repair reaction. Experiments with enzyme inhibitors in mammalian cell extracts suggest that the repair replication step is catalyzed by DNA polymerase beta.
