Mammalian polymerase theta (Polθ) is a multifunctional enzyme that promotes error-prone DNA repair by alternative-NHEJ (alt-NHEJ). Here we perform structure-function analyses and report that, in addition to the polymerase domain, the helicase activity plays a central role during Polθ-mediated double-strand break (DSB) repair. Our results show that Polθ-helicase promotes chromosomal translocations by alt-NHEJ in mouse embryonic stem cells. The helicase activity also suppresses CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene targeting by homologous recombination (HR). In vitro experiments reveal that Polθ–helicase facilitates the removal of RPA from resected DSBs to allow their annealing and subsequent joining by alt-NHEJ. Consistent with an antagonistic role for RPA during alt-NHEJ, we show that the inhibition of RPA1 enhances end-joining and suppresses recombination. Taken together, our results reveal that the balance between HR and alt-NHEJ is controlled by opposing activities of Polθ and RPA, providing further insight into the regulation of repair pathway choice in mammalian cells.
