Supplementary information

Rfa1 also known as Rpa1 is a protein component of the Replication Protein A (RPA) complex. It is 70 kDa in size and it plays an important role in DNA metabolism. This protein helps in the stabilization of single-stranded DNA intermediates. Rfa1/Rpa1 expression occurs in various tissues across different species reflecting its importance in cellular processes involving DNA.
Biological function summary

Replication Protein A helps maintain genome stability by providing a platform for the recruitment of other proteins involved in DNA repair and replication. Rpa1 is an important component of the heterotrimeric RPA complex which includes Rpa2 and Rpa3. This complex binds single-stranded DNA during replication and acts as a regulator in both DNA replication and repair pathways preventing DNA from forming secondary structures and protecting it from nucleases.

Pathways

Rfa1/Rpa1 plays a significant role in the DNA damage response pathway and in DNA replication. It works alongside proteins like ATR RAD9 and RAD17 to activate the checkpoint signaling cascade following DNA damage. This ensures proper cell cycle control and DNA repair avoiding cell cycle arrest or mutations. During DNA replication it participates with proteins like DNA polymerases and RFC to ensure accurate DNA synthesis.

Rfa1/Rpa1 is linked to cancer and genomic instability disorders. Its malfunction can lead to an impaired DNA damage response contributing to oncogenesis. The protein's interaction with BRCA1 is significant in breast cancer illustrating how its pathway involvement affects tumor suppression mechanisms. Additionally its relationship with proteins like RAD51 highlights its role in maintaining genome integrity further stressing its importance in preventing pathological conditions.

Target data

As part of the replication protein A (RPA/RP-A), a single-stranded DNA-binding heterotrimeric complex, may play an essential role in DNA replication, recombination and repair. Binds and stabilizes single-stranded DNA intermediates, preventing complementary DNA reannealing and recruiting different proteins involved in DNA metabolism. Binds to single-stranded sequences participating in DNA replication in addition to those mediating transcriptional repression (URS1) and activation (CAR1). Stimulates the activity of a cognate strand exchange protein (SEP1). It cooperates with T-AG and DNA topoisomerase I to unwind template DNA containing the simian virus 40 origin of DNA replication.
