Function

Auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and epsilon, is involved in the control of eukaryotic DNA replication by increasing the polymerase's processibility during elongation of the leading strand (PubMed:35585232). Induces a robust stimulatory effect on the 3'-5' exonuclease and 3'-phosphodiesterase, but not apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APEX2 activities. Has to be loaded onto DNA in order to be able to stimulate APEX2. Plays a key role in DNA damage response (DDR) by being conveniently positioned at the replication fork to coordinate DNA replication with DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance pathways (PubMed:24939902). Acts as a loading platform to recruit DDR proteins that allow completion of DNA replication after DNA damage and promote postreplication repair: Monoubiquitinated PCNA leads to recruitment of translesion (TLS) polymerases, while 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA is involved in error-free pathway and employs recombination mechanisms to synthesize across the lesion (PubMed:24695737).

Activity summary

PCNA or Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen functions as a sliding clamp for DNA polymerases during DNA replication. This important role enables it to coordinate the orderly duplication of the genome by increasing the processivity of DNA polymerase δ. PCNA weighs approximately 29 kDa and forms a homotrimeric ring structure. It is expressed in the nucleus of cells often found abundantly in proliferating cells. Aside from its main name some people also refer to it as PC10.

Biological function summary

This protein serves a core function in cell cycle regulation and DNA repair. PCNA acts as a scaffold for the assembly of numerous proteins involved in DNA processing forming part of the replication fork complex. It interacts with cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) linking DNA synthesis to cell cycle progression. Furthermore PCNA partners with proteins involved in DNA mismatch repair base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair.

Pathways

PCNA is integral in the DNA replication and repair pathways. It closely associates with the p21 protein which regulates the cell cycle by inhibiting cyclin-CDK complexes upon DNA damage. PCNA also plays a part in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway where its modification by ubiquitin impacts how cells respond to DNA damage. This modification recruits specific proteins for DNA repair highlighting its central role in maintaining genomic stability.

Associated diseases and disorders

PCNA is linked to cancer and autoimmune diseases. Its overexpression is common in various cancers reflecting its role in cell proliferation and the cell cycle. PCNA antibodies are sometimes found in the serum of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a connection also related to alterations in the p21 protein pathway. The interaction between PCNA and disease-specific proteins emphasizes its importance in both cell proliferation and immune system disorders.

    IHC image of PCNA staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal spleen performed on a Leica BOND™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab264494, 0.1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
