Polynucleotide kinase is a bifunctional enzyme
containing both DNA 3'-phosphatase and 5'-kinase activities seemingly
suited to the coupled repair of single-strand nicks in which the
phosphate has remained with the 3'-base. We show that the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to repair transformed
dephosphorylated linear plasmids by non-homologous end joining with
considerable efficiency independently of the end-processing polymerase
Pol4p. Homology searches and biochemical assays did not reveal a
5'-kinase that would account for this repair, however. Instead, open
reading frame YMR156C (here named TPP1) is shown to encode
only a polynucleotide kinase-type 3'-phosphatase. Tpp1p bears extensive
similarity to the ancient L-2-halo-acid dehalogenase and
DDDD phosphohydrolase superfamilies, but is specific for
double-stranded DNA. It is present at high levels in cell extracts in a
functional form and so does not represent a pseudogene. Moreover, the
phosphatase-only nature of this gene is shared by Saccharomyces
mikatae YMR156C and Arabidopsis thaliana K15M2.3.
Repair of 3'-phosphate and 5'-hydroxyl lesions is thus uncoupled in
budding yeast as compared with metazoans. Repair of transformed
dephosphorylated plasmids, and 5'-hydroxyl blocking lesions more
generally, likely proceeds by a cycle of base removal and resynthesis.
