    Abstract In some organisms, the replication of G-quadruplex (G4) structures is supported by the Rev1 DNA polymerase. We previously showed that residues in the insert-2 motif of human Rev1 (hRev1) increased the affinity of the enzyme for G4 DNA and mediated suppression of mutagenic replication near G4 motifs. We have now investigated the conservation of G4-selective properties in Rev1 from other species. We compared Rev1 from

    Abstract Expression of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) is a determinant of malignancy in gliomas through kynurenine (KYN) signaling. We report that inhibition of TDO activity attenuated recovery from replication stress and increased the genotoxic effects of bis-chloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU). Activation of the Chk1 arm of the replication stress response (RSR) was reduced when TDO activity was blocked prior to BCNU treatment, whereas phosphorylation of serine 33 (pS33) on replication protein A (RPA) was enhanced-indicative of increased fork collapse. Analysis of quantitative proteomic results revealed that TDO inhibition reduced nuclear 53BP1 and sirtuin levels. We confirmed that cells lacking TDO activity exhibited elevated gamma-H2AX signal and defective recruitment of 53BP1 to chromatin following BCNU treatment, which corresponded with delayed repair of DNA breaks. Addition of exogenous KYN increased the rate of break repair. TDO inhibition diminished SIRT7 deacetylase recruitment to chromatin, which increased histone H3K18 acetylation-a key mark involved in preventing 53BP1 recruitment to sites of DNA damage. TDO inhibition also sensitized cells to ionizing radiation (IR)-induced damage, but this effect did not involve altered 53BP1 recruitment. These experiments support a model where TDO-mediated KYN signaling helps fuel a robust response to replication stress and DNA damage.

    Abstract The structural and biophysical properties typically associated with G-quadruplex (G4) structures render them a significant block for DNA replication, which must be overcome for cell division to occur. The Werner syndrome protein (WRN) is a RecQ family helicase that has been implicated in the efficient processing of G4 DNA structures. The aim of this study was to identify the residues of WRN involved in the binding and ATPase-driven unwinding of G4 DNA. Using a c-Myc G4 DNA model sequence and recombinant WRN, we have determined that the RecQ-C-terminal (RQC) domain of WRN imparts a 2-fold preference for binding to G4 DNA relative to non-G4 DNA substrates. NMR studies identified residues involved specifically in interactions with G4 DNA. Three of the amino acids in the WRN RQC domain that exhibited the largest G4-specific changes in NMR signal were then mutated alone or in combination. Mutating individual residues implicated in G4 binding had a modest effect on WRN binding to DNA, decreasing the preference for G4 substrates by ∼25%. Mutating two G4-interacting residues (T1024G and T1086G) abrogated preferential binding of WRN to G4 DNA. Very modest decreases in G4 DNA-stimulated ATPase activity were observed for the mutant enzymes. Most strikingly, G4 unwinding by WRN was inhibited ∼50% for all three point mutants and >90% for the WRN double mutant (T1024G/T1086G) relative to normal B-form dsDNA substrates. Our work has helped to identify residues in the WRN RQC domain that are involved specifically in the interaction with G4 DNA.

    Abstract We previously reported that human Rev1 (hRev1) bound to a parallel-stranded G-quadruplex (G4) from the c-MYC promoter with high affinity. We have extended those results to include other G4 motifs, finding that hRev1 exhibited stronger affinity for parallel-stranded G4 than either anti-parallel or hybrid folds. Amino acids in the αE helix of insert-2 were identified as being important for G4 binding. Mutating E466 and Y470 to alanine selectively perturbed G4 binding affinity. The E466K mutant restored wild-type G4 binding properties. Using a forward mutagenesis assay, we discovered that loss of hRev1 increased G4 mutation frequency >200-fold compared to the control sequence. Base substitutions and deletions occurred around and within the G4 motif. Pyridostatin (PDS) exacerbated this effect, as the mutation frequency increased >700-fold over control and deletions upstream of the G4 site more than doubled. Mutagenic replication of G4 DNA (±PDS) was partially rescued by wild-type and E466K hRev1. The E466A or Y470A mutants failed to suppress the PDS-induced increase in G4 mutation frequency. These findings have implications for the role of insert-2, a motif conserved in vertebrates but not yeast or plants, in Rev1-mediated suppression of mutagenesis during G4 replication.

    Abstract Overexpression of human DNA polymerase kappa (hpol κ) in glioblastoma is associated with shorter survival time and resistance to the alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), making it an attractive target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors. We previously reported on the development and characterization of indole barbituric acid-derived (IBA) inhibitors of translesion DNA synthesis polymerases (TLS pols). We have now identified a potent and selective inhibitor of hpol κ based on the indole-aminoguanidine (IAG) chemical scaffold. The most promising IAG analogue, IAG-10, exhibited greater inhibitory action against hpol κ than any other human Y-family member, as well as pols from the A-, B-, and X-families. Inhibition of hpol κ by IAG analogues appears to proceed through a mechanism that is distinct from inhibition of hpol η based on changes in DNA binding affinity and nucleotide insertion kinetics. By way of comparison, both IAG and IBA analogues inhibited binary complex formation by hpol κ and ternary complex formation by hpol η. Decreasing the concentration of enzyme and DNA in the reaction mixture lowered the IC

    Abstract We have investigated the in vitro properties of human Y-family polymerase κ (hpol κ) on G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA). Similar to hpol η, another Y-family member implicated in replication of G4 motifs, hpol κ bound G4 DNA with a 5.7-fold preference over control, non-G4 DNA. Results from pol extension assays are consistent with the notion that G-quadruplexes present a stronger barrier to DNA synthesis by hpol κ than they do to that by hpol η. However, kinetic analysis revealed that hpol κ activity increases considerably when the enzyme is 2–3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, a trend that was reported previously for hpol η, though the increase was less pronounced. The increase in hpol κ activity on G4 DNA was readily observed in the presence of either potassium or sodium but much less so when lithium was used in the buffer. The increased activity 2–3 nucleotides from the G4 motif was accompanied by a decrease in the fidelity of hpol κ when the counterion was either potassium or sodium but not in the presence of lithium. The activity of hpol κ decreased progressively as the primer was moved closer than 2 nucleotides from the G4 motif when either potassium or sodium was used to stabilize the G-quadruplex. Interestingly, the decrease in catalytic activity at the site of the quadruplex observed in potassium-containing buffer was accompanied by an increase in fidelity on G4 substrates versus control non-G4 substrates. This trend of increased fidelity in copying a tetrad-associated guanine was observed previously for hpol η, but not for the B-family member hpol ε, which exhibited a large decrease in both efficiency and fidelity in the attempt to copy the first guanine in the G4 motif. In summary, hpol κ activity was enhanced relative to those of other Y-family members when the enzyme is 2–3 nucleotides from the G4 motif, but hpol κ appears to be less competent than hpol η at copying tetrad-associated guanines.

    Abstract Recent studies have identified human PrimPol as a new RNA/DNA primase and translesion DNA synthesis polymerase (TLS pol) that contributes to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication. We investigated the mechanism of PrimPol polymerase activity on both undamaged and damaged DNA substrates. With Mg²⁺ as a cofactor, PrimPol binds primer-template DNA with low affinity Kd,DNA values (∼200–1200 nM). DNA binding is enhanced 34-fold by Mn²⁺ (Kd,DNA = 27 nM). The pol activity of PrimPol is increased 400–1000-fold by Mn²⁺ compared to Mg²⁺ based on steady-state kinetic parameters. PrimPol makes a mistake copying undamaged DNA once every ∼100–2500 insertions events, which is comparable to other TLS pols, and the fidelity of PrimPol is ∼1.7-fold more accurate when Mg²⁺ is the cofactor compared to Mn²⁺. PrimPol inserts dCMP opposite 8-oxo-dG with 2- (Mn²⁺) to 6-fold (Mg²⁺) greater efficiency than dAMP misinsertion. PrimPol-catalyzed dCMP insertion opposite 8-oxo-dG proceeds at ∼25% efficiency relative to unmodified template dG, and PrimPol readily extends from dC:8-oxo-dG base pairs (bps) with ∼2-fold greater efficiency than dA:8-oxo-dG bps. A tetrahydrofuran (THF) abasic-site mimic decreases PrimPol activity to ∼0.04%. In summary, PrimPol exhibits the fidelity typical of other TLS pols, is rather unusual in the degree of activation afforded by Mn²⁺, and accurately bypasses 8-oxo-dG, a DNA lesion of special relevance to mitochondrial DNA replication and transcription.
