Also known as FLJ21662
Summary
POLA2 (DNA polymerase alpha 2, accessory subunit, HGNC:30073) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.1, encoding DNA polymerase alpha subunit B (Q14181). 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. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 98.8% of cancer cell lines).
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA replication initiation and DNA replication, synthesis of primer. Located in ciliary basal body; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Part of alpha DNA polymerase:primase complex.

Function. 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. 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. The primase subunit of the polymerase alpha complex initiates DNA synthesis by oligomerising short RNA primers on both leading and lagging strands. 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.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the alpha DNA polymerase complex (also known as the alpha DNA polymerase-primase complex) consisting of four subunits: the catalytic subunit POLA1, the regulatory subunit POLA2, and primase complex subunits PRIM1 and PRIM2 respectively. Within the complex, POLA1 directly interacts with PRIM2/p58.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner, in G2/M phase.
Domain organisation. The N-terminal 240 amino acids are sufficient to mediate complex formation.
Similarity. Belongs to the DNA polymerase alpha subunit B family.
