鸡 B 淋巴细胞前体和 DT40 细胞通过同源重组 (HR) 介导的 Ig 基因转换使其免疫球蛋白变量 (IgV) 基因多样化。为了鉴定参与 Ig 基因转化的 DNA 聚合酶,我们创建了缺乏 DNA 聚合酶 eta (pol eta) 的 DT40 克隆,而在人类中,这种酶在着色性干皮病变体 (XP-V) 中存在缺陷。 Pol eta 是一种容易出错的跨损伤 DNA 合成聚合酶,可以绕过紫外线损伤引起的损伤,并参与 IgV 超突变。与 XP-V 细胞一样,pol eta 破坏的 (pol eta) 克隆表现出对紫外线的超敏性。值得注意的是,与野生型细胞相比,pol eta 细胞的 Ig 基因转换和双链断裂诱导的 HR 频率均显着降低,并且这些缺陷通过与人 pol eta 互补而得以逆转。我们的研究结果确定了一种 DNA 聚合酶,可以进行生理 HR 的 DNA 合成,并提供证据表明单个 DNA 聚合酶可以发挥多种细胞作用。
Chicken B lymphocyte precursors and DT40 cells diversify their immunoglobulin-variable (IgV) genes through homologous recombination (HR)-mediated Ig gene conversion. To identify DNA polymerases that are involved in Ig gene conversion, we created DT40 clones deficient in DNA polymerase eta (pol eta), which, in humans, is defective in the variant form of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP-V). Pol eta is an error-prone translesion DNA synthesis polymerase that can bypass UV damage-induced lesions and is involved in IgV hypermutation. Like XP-V cells, pol eta-disrupted (pol eta) clones exhibited hypersensitivity to UV. Remarkably, pol eta cells showed a significant decrease in the frequency of both Ig gene conversion and double-strand break-induced HR when compared to wild-type cells, and these defects were reversed by complementation with human pol eta. Our findings identify a DNA polymerase that carries out DNA synthesis for physiological HR and provides evidence that a single DNA polymerase can play multiple cellular roles.
