DNA Polymerases and Human Disease REVIEWS Nature Reviews Genetics | AOP, published online 15 July 2008; doi:10.1038/nrg2345 DNA polymerases and human disease Lawrence A. Loeb*‡§ and Raymond J. Monnat Jr*|| Abstract | The human genome encodes at least 14 DNA-dependent DNA polymerases — a surprisingly large number. These include the more abundant, high-fidelity enzymes that replicate the bulk of genomic DNA, together with eight or more specialized DNA polymerases that have been discovered in the past decade. Although the roles of the newly recognized polymerases are still being defined, one of their crucial functions is to allow synthesis past DNA damage that blocks replication-fork progression. We explore the reasons that might justify the need for so many DNA polymerases, describe their function and mode of regulation, and finally consider links between mutations in DNA polymerases and human disease. non-processive Lagging strand Our knowledge of human DNA polymerases has under- low catalytic efficiency and are .

Consequentially, wee1 mutant plants fail to respond properly to problems arising during DNA replication and are hypersensitive to replication stress.

  • Yeast DNA Polymerase Zeta (␨)Is Essential for Error-Free Replication Past Thymine Glycol
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 24, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Yeast DNA polymerase zeta (␨)is essential for error-free replication past thymine glycol Robert E. Johnson, Sung-Lim Yu, Satya Prakash, and Louise Prakash1 Sealy Center for Molecular Science, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Galveston, Texas 77555-1061, USA DNA polymerase zeta (Pol␨) promotes the mutagenic bypass of DNA lesions in eukaryotes. Genetic studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have indicated that relative to the contribution of other pathways, Pol␨ makes only a modest contribution to lesion bypass. Intriguingly, however, disruption of the REV3 gene, which encodes the catalytic subunit of Pol␨, causes early embryonic lethality in mice. Here, we present genetic and biochemical evidence for the requirement of yeast Pol␨ for predominantly error-free replication past thymine glycol (Tg), a DNA lesion formed frequently by free radical attack. These results raise the possibility that, as in yeast, in higher eukaryotes also, Pol␨ makes a major contribution to the replicative bypass of Tgs as well as other lesions that block synthesis by replicative DNA polymerases. Such a preeminent role of Pol␨ in lesion bypass would ensure that rapid cell divisions continue unabated during early embryonic development, thereby minimizing the generation of DNA strand breaks, chromosome aberrations, and the ensuing apoptotic response.

  • Emergence of DNA Polymerase E Antimutators That Escape Error-Induced Extinction in Yeast
    INVESTIGATION Emergence of DNA Polymerase e Antimutators That Escape Error-Induced Extinction in Yeast Lindsey N. Williams, Alan J. Herr, and Bradley D. Preston1 Department of Pathology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 ABSTRACT DNA polymerases (Pols) e and d perform the bulk of yeast leading- and lagging-strand DNA synthesis. Both Pols possess intrinsic proofreading exonucleases that edit errors during polymerization. Rare errors that elude proofreading are extended into duplex DNA and excised by the mismatch repair (MMR) system. Strains that lack Pol proofreading or MMR exhibit a 10- to 100-fold increase in spontaneous mutation rate (mutator phenotype), and inactivation of both Pol d proofreading (pol3-01) and MMR is lethal due to replication error-induced extinction (EEX). It is unclear whether a similar synthetic lethal relationship exists between defects in Pol e proofreading (pol2-4) and MMR. Using a plasmid-shuffling strategy in haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we observed synthetic lethality of pol2-4 with alleles that completely abrogate MMR (msh2D, mlh1D, msh3D msh6D,orpms1D mlh3D) but not with partial MMR loss (msh3D, msh6D, pms1D,ormlh3D), indicating that high levels of unrepaired Pol e errors drive extinction. However, variants that escape this error-induced extinction (eex mutants) frequently emerged. Five percent of pol2-4 msh2D eex mutants encoded second-site changes in Pol e that reduced the pol2-4 mutator phenotype between 3- and 23-fold. The remaining eex alleles were extragenic to pol2-4. The locations of antimutator amino-acid changes in Pol e and their effects on mutation spectra suggest multiple mechanisms of mutator suppression. Our data indicate that unrepaired leading- and lagging-strand polymerase errors drive extinction within a few cell divisions and suggest that there are polymerase-specific pathways of mutator suppression.

Prior studies have shown that loss of ε leads to high mutation frequency, partially constitutive SOS, and poor growth. In addition, a previous study from our lab identified dnaQ knockout mutants in a screen for mutants specifically defective in the SOS response following quinolone (nalidixic acid) treatment. To explain these results, we propose a model whereby in addition to proofreading, ε plays a distinct role in replisome disassembly and/or processing of stalled replication forks.

Conversely in man, deficient 12 mitophagy due to Pink1/Parkin mutations triggers iron accumulation in patient brain and limits 13 survival. We now aimed to identify murine fibroblast factors, which adapt their mRNA expression 14 to acute iron manipulation, relate to mitochondrial dysfunction and may influence survival. After 15 iron depletion, expression of the plasma membrane receptor Tfrc with its activator Ireb2, the 16 mitochondrial membrane transporter Abcb10, the heme-release factor Pgrmc1, the heme- 17 degradation enzyme Hmox1, the heme-binding cholesterol metabolizer Cyp46a1, as well as the 18 mitophagy regulators Pink1 and Parkin showed a negative correlation to iron levels. After iron 19 overload, these factors did not change expression. Conversely, a positive correlation of mRNA levels 20 with both conditions of iron availability was observed for the endosomal factors Slc11a2 and Steap2, 21 as well as for the iron-sulfur-cluster (ISC)-containing factors Ppat, Bdh2 and Nthl1.

([email protected]) or H.L. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT At the eukaryotic DNA replication fork, it is widely believed that the Cdc45-Mcm2-7-GINS (CMG) helicase leads the way in front to unwind DNA, and that DNA polymerases (Pol) trail behind the helicase. Here we use single particle electron microscopy to directly image a replisome. Contrary to expectations, the leading strand Pol ε is positioned ahead of CMG helicase, while Ctf4 and the lagging strand Pol α-primase (Pol α) are behind the helicase. This unexpected architecture indicates that the leading strand DNA travels a long distance before reaching Pol ε, it first threads through the Mcm2-7 ring, then makes a U-turn at the bottom to reach Pol ε at the top of CMG. Our work reveals an unexpected configuration of the eukaryotic replisome, suggests possible reasons for this architecture, and provides a basis for further structural and biochemical replisome studies. INTRODUCTION DNA is replicated by a multi-protein machinery referred to as a replisome 1,2. Replisomes contain a helicase to unwind DNA, DNA polymerases that synthesize the leading and lagging strands, and a primase that makes short primed sites to initiate DNA synthesis on both strands.

Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between
