DPO with AT matched
OverviewOverview
The ability or inability of a DNA polymerase to extend a mispair directly, affects the establishment of genomic mutations. We report here kinetic, analyses of the ability of Dpo4, a Y-family polymerase from Sulfolobus, solfataricus, to extend from all mispairs opposite a template G or T. Dpo4, is equally inefficient at extending these mispairs, which include, surprisingly, a G.T mispair expected to conform closely to Watson-Crick, geometry. To elucidate the basis of this, we solved the structure of Dpo4, bound to G.T-mispaired primer template in the presence of an incoming, nucleotide. As a control, we also determined the structure of Dpo4 bound, to a matched A-T base pair at the primer terminus. The structures offer a, basis for the low efficiency of Dpo4 in extending a G.T mispair: a reverse, wobble that deflects the primer 3'-OH away from the incoming nucleotide.
