Supplementary information

POLA2 also known as DNA polymerase alpha-2 subunit or p70 functions mechanically as a part of the DNA polymerase alpha complex. This protein has a mass of approximately 70 kDa. It plays a role in the initiation of DNA replication by synthesizing short RNA-DNA hybrid primers during the early phase. POLA2 expresses widely with prominent presence in proliferating tissues due to its role in cell division.
Biological function summary

POLA2 participates in the assembly of the DNA polymerase alpha complex which is a critical component in the inception of DNA replication. This complex comprises multiple subunits including the catalytic POLA1 subunit with POLA2 acting as a regulatory subunit that stabilizes the complex and contributes to its activity. POLA2 is necessary for ensuring genomic integrity as the complex initiates DNA synthesis upon the replication fork.

Pathways

POLA2 is integral to DNA replication and cell cycle regulation. It facilitates replication initiation anchoring the complex to the DNA template which coordinates with proteins like primase to synthesize the initial RNA-DNA segments. This involvement links POLA2 to the broader cell division cycle pathway interacting functionally alongside other participant proteins such as MCMs and CDC45 that orchestrate the progression through replication.

POLA2 has associations with cancer reflecting its role in cell proliferation. Overexpression or dysregulation of POLA2 can lead to uncontrolled cell division contributing to tumorigenesis. Studies also connect POLA2 to certain genetic disorders involving replication stress. Defects in POLA2 have correlations to replication-based diseases and show interaction with other replication proteins like ATR whose dysfunction can exacerbate replication errors leading to disease phenotypes.

Target data

Accessory subunit of the DNA polymerase alpha complex (also known as the alpha DNA polymerase-primase complex) which plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA synthesis (PubMed : 9705292). During the S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA polymerase alpha complex (composed of a catalytic subunit POLA1, an accessory subunit POLA2 and two primase subunits, the catalytic subunit PRIM1 and the regulatory subunit PRIM2) is recruited to DNA at the replicative forks via direct interactions with MCM10 and WDHD1 (By similarity). The primase subunit of the polymerase alpha complex initiates DNA synthesis by oligomerising short RNA primers on both leading and lagging strands (By similarity). These primers are initially extended by the polymerase alpha catalytic subunit and subsequently transferred to polymerase delta and polymerase epsilon for processive synthesis on the lagging and leading strand, respectively (By similarity).
