This study examines the role of the p12 subunit in the function of the human DNA polymerase δ (Pol δ) holoenzyme by comparing the kinetics of DNA synthesis and degradation catalyzed by the four subunit complex, the three subunit complex lacking p12, and site directed mutants of each lacking proofreading exonuclease activity. Results show that p12 modulates the rate and fidelity of DNA synthesis by Pol δ. All four complexes synthesize DNA in a rapid burst phase and a slower, more linear phase. In the presence of p12, the burst rates of DNA synthesis are about five times faster, while the affinity of the enzyme for its DNA and dNTP substrates appears unchanged. The p12 subunit alters Pol δ fidelity by modulating the proofreading 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity. In the absence of p12, Pol δ is more likely to proofread DNA synthesis because it cleaves single-stranded DNA twice as fast and transfers mismatched DNA from the polymerase to the exonuclease sites 9 times faster. Pol δ also extends mismatched primers 3 times more slowly in the absence of p12. Taken together, the changes that p12 exerts on Pol δ are ones that can modulate its fidelity of DNA synthesis. The loss of p12, which occurs in cells upon exposure to DNA damaging agents, converts Pol δ to a form that has an increased capacity for proofreading.
