Correct removal of RNA primers of Okazaki fragments during
lagging-strand DNA synthesis is a critical process for the maintenance of genome integrity. Disturbance of this process has severe mutagenic consequences and could contribute to the development of cancer. The
role of the mammalian nucleases RNase HI and FEN-1 in RNA primer
removal has been substantiated by several studies. Recently, RNase
H(35), the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of mammalian RNase HI, was identified and its possible role in DNA replication was
proposed (P. Frank, C. Braunshofer-Reiter, and U. Wintersberger, FEBS
Lett. 421:23-26, 1998). This led to the possibility of moving to the
genetically powerful yeast system for studying the homologues of RNase
HI and FEN-1, i.e., RNase H(35) and Rad27p, respectively. In this
study, we have biochemically defined the substrate specificities and
the cooperative as well as independent cleavage mechanisms of
S. cerevisiae RNase H(35) and Rad27 nuclease by
using Okazaki fragment model substrates. We have also determined the
additive and compensatory pathological effects of gene deletion and
overexpression of these two enzymes. Furthermore, the mutagenic
consequences of the nuclease deficiencies have been analyzed. Based on
our findings, we suggest that three alternative RNA primer removal pathways of different efficiencies involve RNase H(35) and Rad27 nucleases in yeast.
