Human primpol discrimination against dideoxynucleotides during primer synthesis

PrimPol is required to re-prime DNA replication at both nucleus and mitochondria, thus facilitating fork progression during replicative stress. ddC is a chain-terminating nucleotide that has been widely used to block mitochondrial DNA replication because it is efficiently incorporated by the replica...

description PrimPol is required to re-prime DNA replication at both nucleus and mitochondria, thus facilitating fork progression during replicative stress. ddC is a chain-terminating nucleotide that has been widely used to block mitochondrial DNA replication because it is efficiently incorporated by the replicative polymerase Polγ. Here, we show that human PrimPol discriminates against dideoxynucleotides (ddNTP) when elongating a primer across 8oxoG lesions in the template, but also when starting de novo synthesis of DNA primers, and especially when selecting the 3 nucleotide of the initial dimer. PrimPol incorporates ddNTPs with a very low efficiency compared to dNTPs even in the presence of activating manganese ions, and only a 40-fold excess of ddNTP would significantly disturb PrimPol primase activity. This discrimination against ddNTPs prevents premature termination of the primers, warranting their use for elongation.
