malfunction | Detection of stable DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) between Pol beta and dL in intact cells. Formation of BER-mediated DNA-protein crosslinks, formation of oxidative polbeta-DPC in vivo. Pol beta-DPC are subsequently targeted for ubiquitylation and rapid proteolysis, which is expected to generate 5'-peptidyl-dL-DNA adducts. Inhibition of theproteasome prevents removal of Pol beta-DPC (3B), leading to their toxic accumulation with cell killing and perhaps other consequences. Mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (Pol gamma), which harbors a 5'-dRp lyase similar to that of Pol beta, is also trapped by 5'-dL | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | oxidized abasic sites are initially incised by Ape1, thus recruiting these lesions into base excision repair (BER) pathways. Lesions such as 2-deoxypentos-4-ulose can be removed by conventional (single-nucleotide) BER, which proceeds through a covalent Schiff base intermediate with DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta) that is resolved by hydrolysis. In contrast, the lesion 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL) must be processed by multinucleotide (long-patch) BER: attempted repair via the single-nucleotide pathway leads to a dead-end, covalent complex with Pol beta cross-linked to the DNA by an amide bond. In classical base excision repair (BER), only the missing nucleotide is replaced by DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta), and the deoxyribose-5'-phosphate (5'-dRp) residue is excised by a 5'-dRp lyase activity in a discrete domain of Pol beta. The result is a nicked DNA that is competent for ligation, usually by DNA ligase III alpha. Another subpathway called long-patch BER (LP-BER) also exists, in which DNA repair synthesis replaces 2-10 nucleotides, Fen1 (flap) endonuclease excises the displaced strand, and DNA ligase I seals the nick. LP-BER repair synthesis can be initiated by Pol beta, which may (inefficiently) insert a second nucleotide. When the 5'-dRp strand is displaced by two or more nucleotides, the 5'-dRp lyase of Pol beta no longer functions, requiring Fen1 to remove the single-stranded flap.
