[The dual function of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the response of human cells to UV damages].
An auxiliary protein of DNA polymerases delta and epsilon, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), is necessary for efficient DNA replication in vivo and in vitro, and also for the repair synthesis in vitro, but its role in the excision repair of genome in vivo is not exactly established. In S-phase of unirradiated cells, PCNA is tightly bound to focal centers of DNA replication and is not removed by treatment with detergent Triton X-100, but is completely extracted from non-S-phase cells by the indicated detergent. It was shown earlier that after UV-irradiation PCNA could not be removed by the detergent even from non-S-phase cells. It was interpreted as the evidence of PCNA integration into the repair complex and of the participation of this protein in repair synthesis in vivo. In the present work the data were obtained indicating that the role of PCNA in cell response to UV-damage was not confined only to its possible involvement in repair synthesis. With the help of confocal microscopy it was established that in Triton X-100-extracted normal cells PCNA did not colocalize with the well known excision repair protein XPB/ERCC3, defective in cells from Xeroderma pigmentosum (complementation group B) patients. XPB-protein is induced by UV-irradiation in normal cells, and this induction is not observed in repair deficient cells. However, in such cells UV-light induces a detergent-resistant form of PCNA, and this form is obviously not connected with repair. It cannot be excluded that a rapid PCNA immobilization immediately after UV-irradiation of cells is needed for the facilitation of photochemical damage bypass during the subsequent replication of genome.
