To elucidate the mechanism by which the two polymerases cooperate in TLS, we determined the cryogenic electron microscopic structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rev1-Polζ holocomplex in the act of DNA synthesis (3.53 Å). We discovered that a composite N-helix-BRCT module in Rev1 is the keystone of Rev1-Polζ cooperativity, interacting directly with the DNA template-primer and with the Rev3 catalytic subunit of Polζ. The module is positioned akin to the polymerase-associated domain in Y-family TLS polymerases and is set ideally to interact with PCNA. We delineate the full extent of interactions that the carboxy-terminal domain of Rev1 makes with Polζ and identify potential new druggable sites to suppress chemoresistance from first-line chemotherapeutics. Collectively, our results provide fundamental new insights into the mechanism of cooperativity between Rev1 and Polζ in TLS. |
