Werner syndrome is a hereditary premature aging disorder characterized by genomic instability. Genetic analysis and protein interaction studies indicate that the defective gene product (WRN) may play an important role in DNA replication, recombination, and repair. DNA polymerase {beta} (pol {beta}) is a central participant in both short and long-patch base excision repair (BER) pathways, which function to process most spontaneous, alkylated, and oxidative DNA damage. We report here a physical interaction between WRN and pol {beta}, and using purified proteins reconstitute of a portion of the long-patch BER pathway to examine a potential role for WRN in this repair response. We demonstrate that WRN stimulates pol {beta} strand displacement DNA synthesis and that this stimulation is dependent on the helicase activity of WRN. In addition, a truncated WRN protein, containing primarily the helicase domain, retains helicase activity and is sufficient to mediate the stimulation of pol {beta}. The WRN helicase also unwinds a BER substrate, providing evidence that WRN plays a role in unwinding DNA repair intermediates. Based on these findings, we propose a novel mechanism by which WRN may mediate pol {beta}-directed long-patch BER.
