Supplementary information

POLR3A also known as RNA polymerase III subunit A or RPC1 plays an important role in the transcription machinery of eukaryotic cells. It functions as the largest subunit of RNA polymerase III which is responsible for transcribing small non-coding RNAs such as tRNA and 5S rRNA. POLR3A has a molecular mass of approximately 155 kDa and its expression can be detected across various tissues reflecting its essential role in basic cellular functions.
Biological function summary

The primary function of POLR3A involves its role as part of the RNA polymerase III complex. This complex synthesizes tRNA and other small RNAs which are important for protein synthesis and various regulatory processes within the cell. POLR3A must work seamlessly with other subunits in the polymerase III complex to ensure efficient RNA production maintaining proper cellular function and growth.

Pathways

Transcription by POLR3A is vital for synthesis of precursor tRNAs in the transcription pathway. It also plays a part in the immune response pathway known as the cytosolic DNA sensing pathway where POLR3A has been linked to recognition of viral DNA. This involvement indicates a connection with proteins such as RIG-I and MAVS which help mediate responses to pathogenic infections.

Mutations in the POLR3A gene can lead to POLR3-related leukodystrophy a neurological disorder affecting white matter in the brain. Additionally variations in POLR3A have been implicated in certain types of systemic sclerosis an autoimmune disorder. These associations highlight the interplay of POLR3A with disease-related proteins such as POLR3B another subunit in the RNA polymerase III complex which can similarly impact cellular and systemic functions when mutated.

Target data

Catalytic core component of RNA polymerase III (Pol III), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase which synthesizes small non-coding RNAs using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. Synthesizes 5S rRNA, snRNAs, tRNAs and miRNAs from at least 500 distinct genomic loci (PubMed : 19609254, PubMed : 19631370, PubMed : 20413673, PubMed : 33335104, PubMed : 33558764, PubMed : 33558766, PubMed : 34675218, PubMed : 35637192, PubMed : 9331371). Pol III-mediated transcription cycle proceeds through transcription initiation, transcription elongation and transcription termination stages. During transcription initiation, Pol III is recruited to DNA promoters type I, II or III with the help of general transcription factors and other specific initiation factors. Once the polymerase has escaped from the promoter it enters the elongation phase during which RNA is actively polymerized, based on complementarity with the template DNA strand. Transcription termination involves the release of the RNA transcript and polymerase from the DNA (PubMed : 20413673, PubMed : 33335104, PubMed : 33558764, PubMed : 33558766, PubMed : 33674783, PubMed : 34675218). Forms Pol III active center together with the second largest subunit POLR3B/RPC2. Appends one nucleotide at a time to the 3' end of the nascent RNA, with POLR3A/RPC1 contributing a Mg(2+)-coordinating DxDGD motif, and POLR3B/RPC2 participating in the coordination of a second Mg(2+) ion and providing lysine residues believed to facilitate Watson-Crick base pairing between the incoming nucleotide and template base. Typically, Mg(2+) ions direct a 5' nucleoside triphosphate to form a phosphodiester bond with the 3' hydroxyl of the preceding nucleotide of the nascent RNA, with the elimination of pyrophosphate (PubMed : 19609254, PubMed : 20413673, PubMed : 33335104, PubMed : 33558764, PubMed : 33674783, PubMed : 34675218, PubMed : 9331371). Pol III plays a key role in sensing and limiting infection by intracellular bacteria and DNA viruses. Acts as a nuclear and cytosolic DNA sensor involved in innate immune response. Can sense non-self dsDNA that serves as template for transcription into dsRNA. The non-self RNA polymerase III transcripts, such as Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNAs (EBERs) induce type I interferon and NF-kappa-B through the RIG-I pathway.
