SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for RAD30

RAD30 encodes DNA polymerase eta, a member of the Y-family of DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis during post-replication repair (7, 8). Rad30p incorporates nucleotides across a wide range of DNA lesions, such as UV-induced dimers, damaged base pairs, and abasic sites that can cause replication forks to stall (reviewed in 5). Translesion synthesis can be error-free or error-prone depending on the damaged nucleotide and the nucleotide inserted by Rad30p (2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). However, Rad30p is commonly considered to be involved in error-free translesion synthesis because it can correctly insert two A's across the most abundant UV-induced lesion, the cis-syn thymine-thymine dimer (also known as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer or CPD) (14, 5).

Rad30p is recruited to stalled replication forks following the monoubiquitination of PCNA by Rad6p-Rad18p in response to DNA damage (7, 8). Pol eta can replace pol delta in the replication holoenzyme (15). Rad30p has a large active site which allows it to tolerate bulky adducts such CPD (16). Like other members of the Y-family of DNA polymerases, Rad30p has low processivity, low fidelity, and no proofreading exonuclease activity (17). Its processivity can be influenced by the type of DNA lesion. For example, Rad30p alone can continue synthesis past an 8oxoG lesion but cooperates with pol zeta to extend replication after inserting nucleotides across a (6-4) thymine-thymine lesion (3, 9, 18, 11).

Rad30p contains a UBZ (ubiquitin binding zinc finger) and PIP (PCNA interacting peptide) motif (5). The interaction with PCNA is essential for Rad30 activity (19, 15). Rad30p is regulated by UV irradiation (20, 21).

Although the Y-family of DNA polymerases are widely conserved, the subfamily of polymerases related to Rad30p are only found in eukaryotes (5, 22). In humans, mutations in pol eta are responsible for xeroderma pigmentosum, variant type (XPV) (23, 4).
