-Radiation-induced intrastrand guanine-thymine cross-link, G[8,5-Me]T, hinders replicationin vitroand is mutagenic in mammalian cells. Herein we reportin vitrotranslesion synthesis of G[8,5-Me]T by human and yeast DNA polymerase (hPol and yPol ). dAMP misincorporation opposite the cross-linked G by yPol was preferred over correct incorporation of dCMP, but further extension was 100-fold less efficient for :A compared to :C. For hPol , both incorporation and extension were more efficient with the correct nucleotides. To evaluate translesion synthesis in the presence of all four dNTPs, we have developed a plasmid-based DNA sequencing assay, which showed that yPol was more error-prone. Mutational frequencies of yPol and hPol were 36% and 14%, respectively. Targeted was the dominant mutation by both DNA polymerases. But yPol induced targeted in 23% frequency relative to 4% by hPol . For yPol , targeted and constituted 83% of the mutations. By contrast, with hPol , semi-targeted mutations (7.2%), that is, mutations at bases near the lesion, occurred at equal frequency as the targeted mutations (6.9%). The kind of mutations detected with hPol showed significant similarities with the mutational spectrum of G[8,5-Me]T in human embryonic kidney cells.

In this issue of Science Signaling, Temprine et al. report that up-regulation of the translesion DNA polymerase Polκ mediates resistance to BRAF pathway–targeted inhibitors and starvation in melanoma cells. These results exemplify the role that Polκ plays in cellular adaptation to stress.
