REV1 is a Y-family polymerase that plays a central role in mutagenic translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), contributing to tumor initiation and progression. In a current model, a monoubiquitinated form of the replication accessory protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), serves as a platform to recruit REV1 to damaged sites on the DNA template. Emerging evidence indicates that posttranslational mechanisms regulate REV1 in yeast; however, the regulation of REV1 in higher eukaryotes is poorly understood. Here we show that the molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a critical regulator of REV1 in human cells. Hsp90 specifically binds REV1 in vivo and in vitro. Treatment with a specific inhibitor of Hsp90 reduces REV1 protein levels in several cell types through proteasomal degradation. This is associated with suppression of UV-induced mutagenesis. Furthermore, Hsp90 inhibition disrupts the interaction between REV1 and monoubiquitinated PCNA and suppresses UV-induced focus formation. These results indicate that Hsp90 promotes folding of REV1 into a stable and/or functional form(s) to bind to monoubiquitinated PCNA. The present findings reveal a novel role of Hsp90 in the regulation of TLS-mediated mutagenesis.
