Replication Protein A4

GC0XP096883
GIFtS:
36
This gene encodes a single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is the 30-kDa subunit of the replication protein A complex. Replication protein A is an essential factor for DNA double-strand break repair and cell cycle checkpoint activation. The encoded protein localizes to DNA repair foci and may be involved in the cellular DNA damage response. This protein may also play a role i... See more...

Summaries for RPA4 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for RPA4 Gene

  • This gene encodes a single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is the 30-kDa subunit of the replication protein A complex. Replication protein A is an essential factor for DNA double-strand break repair and cell cycle checkpoint activation. The encoded protein localizes to DNA repair foci and may be involved in the cellular DNA damage response. This protein may also play a role in inhibiting viral replication.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

GeneCards Summary for RPA4 Gene

RPA4 (Replication Protein A4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with RPA4 include Siberian Tick Typhus and Indian Tick Typhus. Among its related pathways are Regulation of activated PAK-2p34 by proteasome mediated degradation and Mismatch repair. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and single-stranded DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is RPA2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for RPA4 Gene

  • As part of the alternative replication protein A complex, aRPA, binds single-stranded DNA and probably plays a role in DNA repair. Compared to the RPA2-containing, canonical RPA complex, may not support chromosomal DNA replication and cell cycle progression through S-phase. The aRPA may not promote efficient priming by DNA polymerase alpha but could support DNA polymerase delta synthesis in the presence of PCNA and replication factor C (RFC), the dual incision/excision reaction of nucleotide excision repair and RAD51-dependent strand exchange.
