In order to shed light on the role of mammalian DNA polymerase epsilon we studied the expression of mRNA for the human enzyme during cell proliferation and during the cell cycle. Steady-state levels of mRNA encoding DNA polymerase epsilon were elevated dramatically when quiescent (G0) cells were stimulated to proliferate (G1/S) in a similar manner to those of DNA polymerase alpha. Message levels of DNA polymerase beta were unchanged in similar experiments. The concentration of immunoreactive DNA polymerase epsilon was also much higher in extracts from proliferating tissues than in those from non-proliferating or slowly proliferating tissues. The level of DNA polymerase epsilon mRNA in actively cycling cells synchronized with nocodazole and in cells fractionated by counterflow centrifugal elutriation showed weaker variation, being at its highest at the G1/S stage boundary. The results presented strongly suggest that mammalian DNA polymerase epsilon is involved in the replication of chromosomal DNA and/or in a repair process that may be substantially activated during the replication of chromosomal DNA. A hypothetical role for DNA polymerase epsilon in a repair process coupled to replication is discussed.

Human DNA polymerase ε is expressed during cell proliferation in a manner characteristic of replicative DNA polymerases
