DNA polymerase ? (Pol?), whose gene mutation is responsible for the inherited disorder xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V), carries out accurate and efficient translesion synthesis (TLS) across cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD). As Pol? interacts with REV1, and REV1 interacts with other TLS polymerases including Pol?, Pol? and Pol?, Pol? may play a role in recruitment of these TLS polymerases at lesion site. But it is unclear whether UV sensitivity of XP-V patients is caused not only by defect of Pol? activity but also by dysfunction of network between Pol? and other TLS polymerases. Here, we examined whether the TLS polymerase network via Pol? is important for replicative bypass of CPDs and DNA damage tolerance induced by UV in mouse cells. We observed that UV sensitivity of Pol?-deficient mouse cells was moderately rescued by the expression of a catalytically inactive Pol?. Moreover, this recovery of cellular UV sensitivity was mediated by the interaction between Pol? and REV1. However, expression of the inactive mutant Pol? was not able to suppress the incidence of UV-induced mutation observed in Pol?-deficient cells. We propose the model that REV1 and Pol? are involved in DNA damage tolerance via Pol?REV1 interaction when Pol? fails to bypass its cognate substrates.
