DNA polymerase lambda (Pol lambda) is a novel enzyme of the family X of DNA polymerases. Pol lambda has some properties in common with DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta). The substrate properties of Pol lambda were compared to Pol beta, using DNAs mimicking short-patch (SP) and long-patch (LP) base excision repair (BER) intermediates as well as recessed template primers. In the present work, the influence of several BER proteins such as flap-endonuclease-1 (FEN1), PCNA, and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease-1 (APEI) on the activity of Pol lambda was investigated. Pol lambda is unable to catalyze strand displacement synthesis using nicked DNA, although this enzyme efficiently incorporates a dNMP into a one-nucleotide gap. FENI and PCNA stimulate the strand displacement activity of Pol lambda. FENI processes nicked DNA, thus removing a barrier to Pol lambda DNA synthesis. It results in a one-nucleotide gapped DNA molecule that is a favorite substrate of Pol lambda. Photocrosslinking and functional assay show that Pol lambda is less efficient than Pol beta in binding to nicked DNA. APEI has no influence on the strand displacement activity of Pol lambda though it stimulates strand displacement synthesis catalyzed with Pol beta. It is suggested that Pol lambda plays a role in the SP BER rather than contributes to the LP BER pathway. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
