To better understand the functions and fidelity of DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε), we report here on the fidelity of yeast Pol ε mutants with leucine, tryptophan or phenylalanine replacing Met644. The Met644 side chain interacts with an invariant tyrosine that contacts the sugar of the incoming dNTP. M644W and M644L Pol ε synthesize DNA with high fidelity, but M644F Pol ε has reduced fidelity resulting from strongly increased misinsertion rates. When Msh6-dependent repair of replication errors is defective, the mutation rate of a pol2-M644F strain is 16-fold higher than that of a strain with wild-type Pol ε. In conjunction with earlier studies of low-fidelity mutants with replacements for the homologous amino acid in yeast Pol α (L868M/F) and Pol δ (L612M), these data indicate that the active site location occupied by Met644 in Pol ε is a key determinant of replication fidelity by all three B family replicative polymerases. Interestingly, error specificity of M644F Pol ε is distinct from that of L868M/F Pol α or L612M Pol δ, implying that each polymerase has different active site geometry, and suggesting that these polymerase alleles may generate distinctive mutational signatures for probing functions in vivo.
