DNA polymerase zeta (Pol zeta) is a eukaryotic B-family DNA polymerase that specializes in translesion synthesis and is essential for normal embryogenesis. At a minimum, Pol zeta consists of a catalytic subunit Rev3 and an accessory subunit Rev7. Mammalian Rev3 contains >3,000 residues and is twice as large as the yeast homolog. To date, no vertebrate Pol zeta has been purified for biochemical characterization. Here we report purification of a series of human Rev3 deletion constructs expressed in HEK293 cells and identification of a minimally catalytically active human Pol zeta variant. With a tagged form of an active Pol zeta variant, we isolated two additional accessory subunits of human Pol zeta, PolD2 and PolD3. The purified four-subunit Pol zeta 4 (Rev3-Rev7-PolD2-PolD3) is much more efficient and more processive at bypassing a 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG)-cisplatin cross-link than the two-subunit Pol zeta 2 (Rev3-Rev7). We show that complete bypass of cisplatin lesions requires Pol eta to insert dCTP opposite the 3' guanine and Pol zeta 4 to extend the primers.
