Summary
POLH (DNA polymerase eta, HGNC:9181) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.1, encoding DNA polymerase eta (Q9Y253). DNA polymerase specifically involved in the DNA repair by translesion synthesis (TLS).
This gene encodes a member of the Y family of specialized DNA polymerases. It copies undamaged DNA with a lower fidelity than other DNA-directed polymerases. However, it accurately replicates UV-damaged DNA; when thymine dimers are present, this polymerase inserts the complementary nucleotides in the newly synthesized DNA, thereby bypassing the lesion and suppressing the mutagenic effect of UV-induced DNA damage. This polymerase is thought to be involved in hypermutation during immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Mutations in this gene result in XPV, a variant type of xeroderma pigmentosum. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. DNA polymerase specifically involved in the DNA repair by translesion synthesis (TLS). Due to low processivity on both damaged and normal DNA, cooperates with the heterotetrameric (REV3L, REV7, POLD2 and POLD3) POLZ complex for complete bypass of DNA lesions. Inserts one or 2 nucleotide(s) opposite the lesion, the primer is further extended by the tetrameric POLZ complex. In the case of 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG)-cisplatin cross-link, inserts dCTP opposite the 3’ guanine. Particularly important for the repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers. Although inserts the correct base, may cause base transitions and transversions depending upon the context. May play a role in hypermutation at immunoglobulin genes. Forms a Schiff base with 5’-deoxyribose phosphate at abasic sites, but does not have any lyase activity, preventing the release of the 5’-deoxyribose phosphate (5’-dRP) residue. This covalent trapping of the enzyme by the 5’-dRP residue inhibits its DNA synthetic activity during base excision repair, thereby avoiding high incidence of mutagenesis. Targets POLI to replication foci.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with REV1 (via C-terminal domain). Interacts with monoubiquitinated PCNA, but not unmodified PCNA. Interacts with POLI; this interaction targets POLI to the replication machinery. Interacts with PALB2 and BRCA2; the interactions are direct and are required to sustain the recruitment of POLH at blocked replication forks and to stimulate POLH-dependent DNA synthesis on D loop substrates. Interacts (via C-terminus) with TRAIP. Interacts with ubiquitin. Interacts with POLDIP2.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Monoubiquitinated by RCHY1/PIRH2. Ubiquitination depends on integrity of the UBZ3-type zinc finger domain and is enhanced by TRAIP. Ubiquitination inhibits the ability of PolH to interact with PCNA and to bypass UV-induced lesions.
Disease relevance. Xeroderma pigmentosum variant type (XPV) [MIM:278750] An autosomal recessive pigmentary skin disorder characterized by solar hypersensitivity of the skin, high predisposition for developing cancers on areas exposed to sunlight and, in some cases, neurological abnormalities. XPV shows normal nucleotide excision repair, but an exaggerated delay in recovery of replicative DNA synthesis. Most patients with the variant type of xeroderma pigmentosum do not develop clinical symptoms and skin neoplasias until a later age. Clinical manifestations are limited to photo-induced deterioration of the skin and eyes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. The enzyme in complex with the DNA substrate binds a third divalent metal cation. The binding of this third divalent cation, which is coordinated by water molecules and two oxygen atoms from DNA and dNTP, is essential for catalyzing the DNA synthesis.
Cofactor. Binds 2 Mg(2+). Prefers Mg(2+), but can also use Mn(2+). In vitro, can also utilize other divalent cations such as Ca(2+).
Domain organisation. The catalytic core consists of fingers, palm and thumb subdomains, but the fingers and thumb subdomains are much smaller than in high-fidelity polymerases; residues from five sequence motifs of the Y-family cluster around an active site cleft that can accommodate DNA and nucleotide substrates with relaxed geometric constraints, with consequently higher rates of misincorporation and low processivity. The UBZ3-type zinc finger domain and the PIP-box mediate the interaction with ubiquitinated PCNA and are both necessary for the enzymatic activity in translesion synthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-Y family.
