NBN基因(Nibrin)位于人类染色体8q21.3,编码一种称为nibrin的蛋白质,是MRE11-RAD50-NBN(MRN)复合体的核心成员之一。这个复合体在DNA双链断裂(DSB)修复和细胞周期检查点激活中起关键作用,特别是通过同源重组(HR)和非同源末端连接(NHEJ)途径修复DNA损伤。NBN蛋白直接参与识别和稳定断裂的DNA末端,并招募其他修复蛋白如ATM激酶,从而触发细胞对DNA损伤的反应。NBN基因突变会导致其功能丧失,影响MRN复合体的稳定性,进而损害DNA修复能力。最常见的NBN突变与奈梅亨断裂综合征(Nijmegen breakage syndrome, NBS)相关,这是一种常染色体隐性遗传病,患者表现为小头畸形、免疫缺陷、对辐射敏感以及癌症易感性(尤其是淋巴瘤)。此外,NBN突变还与乳腺癌、卵巢癌等癌症风险增加有关。如果NBN过表达,可能增强DNA修复能力,但异常高表达也可能干扰正常的细胞周期调控;而降低表达或功能缺失会导致基因组不稳定,增加突变积累和肿瘤发生风险。NBN属于MRE11/RAD50/NBN基因家族,这些基因的共性在于编码的蛋白质形成MRN复合体,共同参与DNA损伤应答、端粒维持和减数分裂重组。该家族成员在进化上高度保守,其功能缺陷均会导致基因组不稳定性及相关疾病。研究NBN不仅有助于理解DNA修复机制,还为癌症治疗(如靶向DNA修复途径的疗法)和遗传病诊断提供了重要线索。
Mutations in this gene are associated with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, an autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. The encoded protein is a member of the MRE11/RAD50 double-strand break repair complex which consists of 5 proteins. This gene product is thought to be involved in DNA double-strand break repair and DNA damage-induced checkpoint activation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
在这个基因的突变与奈梅亨断裂综合征,一种常染色体隐性染色体不稳定综合征,表现为小头畸形,发育迟缓,免疫缺陷和癌症易感性有关。所编码的蛋白质是MRE11 / RAD50双链断裂修复它由5蛋白质的成员。该基因产物被认为是参与DNA双链断裂修复和DNA损伤诱导的检查点活化。 [由RefSeq的,2008年7月提供]
