Abstrakt: Cycling cells replicate their DNA during the S phase through a defined temporal program known as replication timing. Mutation frequencies, epigenetic chromatin states, and transcriptional activities are different for genomic regions that are replicated early and late in the S phase. Here, we found from ChIP-Seq analysis that DNA polymerase (Pol) κ is enriched in early-replicating genomic regions in HEK293T cells. In addition, by feeding cells with N  2 -heptynyl-2'-deoxyguanosine followed by click chemistry-based enrichment and high-throughput sequencing, we observed elevated Pol κ activities in genomic regions that are replicated early in the S phase. On the basis of the established functions of Pol κ in accurate and efficient nucleotide insertion opposite endogenously induced N  2 -modified dG lesions, our work suggests that active engagement of Pol κ may contribute to diminished mutation rates observed in early-replicating regions of the human genome, including cancer genomes. Together, our work expands the functions of Pol κ and offered a plausible mechanism underlying replication timing-dependent mutation accrual in the human genome.
