POLB基因编码DNA聚合酶β(DNA polymerase beta),是哺乳动物细胞中负责碱基切除修复(BER)的关键酶之一。它属于X家族DNA聚合酶,该家族成员普遍具有较短的合成能力(通常仅合成1-10个核苷酸)但具有较高的保真度,主要参与DNA修复而非复制。POLB通过其两个结构域发挥作用:8kDa的N端结构域具有脱氧核糖磷酸二酯酶(dRP)裂解活性,而31kDa的C端结构域负责DNA合成。在BER途径中,POLB负责填补因损伤碱基切除后产生的单核苷酸缺口,这对维持基因组稳定性至关重要。POLB突变会导致BER功能缺陷,与多种癌症(如结直肠癌、前列腺癌)和神经系统疾病相关。某些突变(如R137Q、K167M)会显著降低酶活性,导致DNA损伤积累和细胞凋亡增加。POLB过表达常见于肿瘤细胞,可能通过错误修复促进基因组不稳定性;而敲除POLB会导致胚胎致死性,证明其在发育中的必要性。该基因还与化疗耐药性相关,某些肿瘤通过上调POLB来抵抗烷化剂类药物。X家族还包括其他成员如POLλ和POLμ,它们都具有类似的"手掌-手指-拇指"结构特征,但POLB是唯一在所有哺乳动物细胞中持续表达的成员。研究表明POLB与XRCC1、PARP1等修复蛋白形成功能复合体,其表达水平受p53等肿瘤抑制因子调控。
The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA polymerase involved in base excision and repair, also called gap-filling DNA synthesis. The encoded protein, acting as a monomer, is normally found in the cytoplasm, but it translocates to the nucleus upon DNA damage. Several transcript variants of this gene exist, but the full-length nature of only one has been described to date. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
由该基因编码的蛋白质是参与碱基切除和修理,也称为间隙填充DNA合成的DNA聚合酶。所编码的蛋白质,作为一个单体,通常是在细胞质中发现的,但它易位至在DNA损伤细胞核。此基因的多个转录物变体存在,但只有一个的全长性质已经描述到日期。 [由RefSeq的,2011年9月提供]
