Three models describing frameshift mutations are classical Streisinger slippage, proposed for repetitive DNA, and misincorporatation misalignment and dNTP-stabilized misalignment, proposed for non-repetitive DNA. We distinguish between models using pre-steady state fluorescence kinetics to visualize transiently misaligned DNA intermediates and nucleotide incorporation products formed by DNA polymerases adept at making small frameshift mutations in vivo. Human polymerase (pol) mu catalyzes Streisinger slippage exclusively in repetitive DNA, requiring as little as a dinucleotide repeat. Escherichia coli pol IV uses dNTP-stabilized misalignment in identical repetitive DNA sequences, revealing that pol mu and pol IV use different mechanisms in repetitive DNA to achieve the same mutational end point. In non-repeat sequences, pol mu switches to dNTP-stabilized misalignment. pol beta generates -1 frameshifts in long repeats and base substitutions in short repeats. Thus, two polymerases can use two different frameshift mechanisms on identical sequences, whereas one polymerase can alternate between frameshift mechanisms to process different sequences.
