Also known as RPC2FLJ10388C128
Summary
POLR3B (RNA polymerase III subunit B, HGNC:30348) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q23.3, encoding DNA-directed RNA polymerase III subunit RPC2 (Q9NW08). 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. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.4% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase III, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing transfer and small ribosomal RNAs in eukaryotes. The largest subunit and the encoded protein form the catalytic center of RNA polymerase III. Mutations in this gene are a cause of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Function. 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. 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. Forms Pol III active center together with the largest subunit POLR3A/RPC1. A single-stranded DNA template strand of the promoter is positioned within the central active site cleft of Pol III. 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. 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.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the RNA polymerase III (Pol III) complex consisting of 17 subunits: a ten-subunit catalytic core composed of POLR3A/RPC1, POLR3B/RPC2, POLR1C/RPAC1, POLR1D/RPAC2, POLR3K/RPC10, POLR2E/RPABC1, POLR2F/RPABC2, POLR2H/RPABC3, POLR2K/RPABC4 and POLR2L/RPABC5; a mobile stalk composed of two subunits POLR3H/RPC8 and CRCP/RPC9, protruding from the core and functioning primarily in transcription initiation; and additional subunits homologous to general transcription factors of the RNA polymerase II machinery, POLR3C/RPC3-POLR3F/RPC6-POLR3G/RPC7 heterotrimer required for transcription initiation and POLR3D/RPC4-POLR3E/RPC5 heterodimer involved in both transcription initiation and termination.

Disease relevance. Leukodystrophy, hypomyelinating, 8, with or without oligodontia and/or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HLD8) [MIM:614381] An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early childhood onset of cerebellar ataxia and mild intellectual disabilities associated with diffuse hypomyelination apparent on brain MRI. Variable features include oligodontia and/or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, demyelinating, type 1I (CMT1I) [MIM:619742] An autosomal dominant demyelinating form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Demyelinating neuropathies are characterized by severely reduced nerve conduction velocities (less than 38 m/sec), segmental demyelination and remyelination with onion bulb formations on nerve biopsy, slowly progressive distal muscle atrophy and weakness, absent deep tendon reflexes, and hollow feet. CMT1I is characterized predominantly by delayed motor development in the first years of life associated with gait abnormalities, sensory ataxia, hyporeflexia, and distal sensory impairment due to a sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy that mainly affects the lower limbs. The disorder is progressive, and some may have upper limb involvement. A subset of patients has central nervous system involvement that manifests as global developmental delay with impaired intellectual development and speech difficulties. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Two Mg(2+) ions are coordinated by both the catalytic residues and the nucleic acid substrate to enhance substrate recognition and catalytic efficiency.
Similarity. Belongs to the RNA polymerase beta chain family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 89 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.
