Activity summary

The Werner's syndrome helicase (WRN) is a RecQ DNA helicase associated with the Werner's syndrome often linked to premature aging. It weighs approximately 143 kDa and is expressed in the nucleus of various human cell types including fibroblasts and lymphocytes. DNA Polymerase beta is involved in base excision repair and has a molecular mass of about 39 kDa predominantly found in the nucleus. Bloom's syndrome protein (BLM) also belongs to the RecQ helicase family and is involved in maintaining genomic stability. PLK1 (Polo-like kinase 1) regulates various stages of mitosis and is a serine/threonine-protein kinase. DNA Polymerase iota (POLI) contributes to translesion synthesis a process of DNA repair while Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) participates in drug metabolism. Geminin prevents DNA replication during the cell cycle. Fatty acid synthase catalyzes the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids and CYP2C9 is involved in metabolizing xenobiotics. DNA Polymerase Kappa (POLK) aids in translesion synthesis and Estrogen Related Receptor alpha influences mitochondrial function. GLP-1R (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor) involves in glucose homeostasis Thromboxane synthase is an enzyme in eicosanoid synthesis while DNA polymerase eta (POLH) aids in bypassing DNA lesions. Epac1 is a cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor and 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) generates leukotrienes pivotal in inflammation often being the focus of lipoxygenase inhibitors. IDH1 is an enzyme in the citric acid cycle and USP2 is a deubiquitinating enzyme.

Biological function summary

These targets serve diverse roles in maintaining cellular function and genetic integrity. WRN BLM POLK and POLH contribute to DNA repair and stability within the cell important in safeguarding against genomic instability. These proteins participate in complexes like the DNA damage response machinery ensuring efficient repair of damaged DNA. Enzymes like CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 in the cytochrome P450 family are essential in drug metabolism and detoxification processes expressed mainly in the liver. Fatty acid synthase plays a role in lipid biosynthesis essential for cellular membrane formation and energy storage. Furthermore GLP-1R and Estrogen Related Receptor alpha influence metabolic regulation emphasizing their importance in glucose metabolism and mitochondrial functions respectively.

Pathways

These targets integrate into key biological systems and processes. WRN BLM and POLK integrate into the DNA damage response pathway maintaining genomic integrity alongside partners like RAD51. FAT synthase and CYP enzymes participate in metabolic pathways impacting lipid biosynthesis and drug metabolism pathways respectively. GLP-1R is actively involved in the incretin signaling pathway modulating insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Meanwhile Thromboxane synthase and 5-LO enzymes are components of the eicosanoid synthesis pathway influencing inflammatory responses. Epac1 engages in the cAMP signaling pathway affecting various cellular processes including cell adhesion and secretion dynamics.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysfunctions in these targets often associate with several pathologies. Mutations in WRN can lead to Werner's syndrome characterized by symptoms of premature aging and genomic instability. Bloom's syndrome linked to mutations in BLM results in increased cancer risk due to DNA repair defects. Abnormal CYP3A4 activity may affect drug clearance leading to adverse drug reactions or ineffective therapies. Disruption in GLP-1R signaling has connections to diabetes mellitus due to impaired insulin regulation. Altered fatty acid synthase activity associates with obesity and cancer given its role in lipid synthesis. Lipoxygenase inhibitors often target 5-LO due to its involvement in inflammatory diseases such as asthma. Collectively the proper function of these biological targets remains critical for preserving health and preventing disease progression.
