The spontaneous replication error and the mismatch discrimination mechanisms of human DNA polymerase β

Abstract: To provide molecular-level insights into the spontaneous replication error and the mismatch discrimination mechanisms of human DNA polymerase β (polβ), we report four crystal structures of polβ complexed with dG•dTTP and dA•dCTP mismatches in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. The Mg2+-bound ground-state structures show that the dA•dCTP-Mg2+ complex adopts an ‘intermediate’ protein conformation while the dG•dTTP-Mg2+ complex adopts an open protein conformation. The Mn2+-bound ‘pre-chemistry-state’ structures show t… Show more

“…There is also evidence that both tautomeric 613 (Fig. 1b) and anionic 79,14,15 (Fig. 1c) WC-like mismatches can evade such fidelity checkpoints and give rise to replication 6,7 and translation errors 16 .…”

“…1). Protons are generally invisible to X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM 12 , and consequently it has not been possible to unambiguously resolve the identity of WC-like mismatches captured within active sites of polymerases 6,7,15,23 and the ribosome decoding site 9,24 . Moreover, WC-like mismatches are predicted to exist in rapid tautomeric (G enol •T/U⇌G•T enol /U enol ) 25,26 equilibria (Fig.…”

“…In this way, in particular, the nature of the so-called error catastrophe[89] can be explained.Further, since endogenous water is not directly included in the processes of the mutagenic tautomerisation that underlie the occurrence of the spontaneous transitionsincorporation errors, so the dependency of the frequency of the latters on pH can be explained by the immediate influence of this physico-chemical factor per se on the course of the G·Т(w)→G*·Т(WC) tautomerisation reaction, that is controlled by not only by the ionization of the isolated bases, incorporated into these pairs[90].…”

“…Other DNA polymerases such as bacteriophage pol RB69 and human pol ␤ achieve good octahedral coordination geometry not only with Mg 2ϩ but also with Mn 2ϩ at the A-site, as observed in their ternary complex structures with the correct incoming non-hydrolyzable nucleotide (PDB IDs 3SJJ, 3SPY, 2FMS, and 3C2K) (35,41,42). It is notable that the superior coordinating ability of Mn 2ϩ when compared with Mg 2ϩ at the A-site is observed in the previously reported structures of ternary pol ␤ complexes (PDB IDs 4PGQ, 4PGX, 4PHA, and 4PHD) with an incoming incorrect non-hydrolyzable nucleotide (43). Our data and that of others suggest that Mn 2ϩ is more tolerant of atypical pol active sites (e.g.…”
