Abasic sites are among the most prevalent DNA lesions in eukaryotic cells, and their detection is critical for cell survival. We report cryo-EM structures of Pol I in different stages of stalling at abasic sites, supported by in vitro transcription studies. Slow nucleotide addition opposite abasic sites occurs through base sandwiching between the RNA 3'-end and the Pol I bridge helix. Templating abasic sites can also cause Pol I cleft opening, which enables the A12 subunit to access the active center. Nucleotide addition opposite the lesion induces a translocation intermediate where DNA bases tilt to form hydrogen bonds with the new RNA base. These findings reveal unique mechanisms of Pol I stalling at abasic sites, differing from arrest by bulky lesions or abasic site handling by RNA polymerase II. |
