Abortive ternary complex crystal structure of DNA polymerase Beta with 8OG-dC base pair at the primer terminus and flipped out dA
Structural highlights
FunctionDPOLB_HUMAN Repair polymerase that plays a key role in base-excision repair. Has 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate lyase (dRP lyase) activity that removes the 5' sugar phosphate and also acts as a DNA polymerase that adds one nucleotide to the 3' end of the arising single-nucleotide gap. Conducts 'gap-filling' DNA synthesis in a stepwise distributive fashion rather than in a processive fashion as for other DNA polymerases.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedAdenine frequently pairs with the Hoogsteen edge of an oxidized guanine base (8OG) causing G to T transversions. The (syn)8OG:dA base pair is indistinguishable from the cognant base pair and can be extended by DNA polymerases with reduced efficiency. To examine the structural basis of this reduced efficiency, we sought to obtain the structure of the "product" complex of DNA polymerase (pol) beta with the (syn)8OG:dA base pair at the primer terminus by soaking the binary complex crystals with a hydrolysable dCTP analogue complementary to the template base G. Crystallographic refinement of the structure revealed that the adenine of the (syn)8OG:dA base pair had been expelled from the primer terminus and a dCMP was inserted opposite 8OG in a reverse orientation; another uninserted molecule of the analogue was bound to the templating base G. This leads to an abortive complex that could form the basis of oxidatively-induced pol beta stalling.
