Also known as POLE1
Summary
POLE (DNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit, HGNC:9177) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.33, encoding DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit A (Q07864). Catalytic component of the DNA polymerase epsilon complex. In precision oncology, POLE Mutation confers sensitivity to Pembrolizumab in Glioblastoma (CIViC Level C); 3 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.8% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon. The enzyme is involved in DNA repair and chromosomal DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer 12 and facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature.

Has 3’-5’ proofreading exonuclease activity that corrects errors arising during DNA replication. Involved in DNA synthesis during DNA repair. Along with DNA polymerase POLD1 and DNA polymerase POLK, has a role in excision repair (NER) synthesis following UV irradiation.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the DNA polymerase epsilon complex consisting of four subunits: the catalytic subunit POLE and the accessory subunits POLE2, POLE3 and POLE4. Interacts with RAD17 and TOPBP1.

Disease relevance. Colorectal cancer 12 (CRCS12) [MIM:615083] A complex disease characterized by malignant lesions arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (the colon) and the rectum. Genetic alterations are often associated with progression from premalignant lesion (adenoma) to invasive adenocarcinoma. Risk factors for cancer of the colon and rectum include colon polyps, long-standing ulcerative colitis, and genetic family history. CRCS12 is characterized by a high-penetrance predisposition to the development of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, with a variable tendency to develop multiple and large tumors. Onset is usually before age 40 years. The histologic features of the tumors are unremarkable. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature (FILS) [MIM:615139] A syndrome characterized by mild facial dysmorphism, mainly malar hypoplasia, livedo on the skin since birth, and immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections. Growth impairment is observed during early childhood and results in variable short stature in adulthood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Intrauterine growth retardation, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, genital anomalies, and immunodeficiency (IMAGEI) [MIM:618336] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, growth hormone deficiency, genital anomalies, and immunodeficiency resulting in increased infections. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The DNA polymerase activity domain resides in the N-terminal half of the protein, while the C-terminus is necessary for maintenance of the complex. The CysA-type zinc finger is required for PCNA-binding. The CysB motif binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster and is required for the formation of polymerase complexes.
Similarity. Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-B family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 124 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
