RRM2 also known as Ribonucleotide Reductase Regulatory Subunit M2 is an important component of the ribonucleotide reductase enzyme complex which plays a significant part in DNA synthesis. This protein helps convert ribonucleotides into deoxyribonucleotides. RRM2 is approximately 45 kDa in size. Its expression occurs mostly in proliferating cells with high levels detected in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The expression level of RRM2 can vary significantly across different tissues correlating closely with cell division rates.
Biological function summary
The ribonucleotide reductase enzyme facilitates the critical function of DNA replication and repair. RRM2 forms a complex with RRM1 the large subunit necessary for enzyme activity. This complex regulates the balance of deoxyribonucleotide pools necessary for DNA synthesis. Variations or dysregulations in the activity of RRM2 can influence genetic stability and cell proliferation emphasizing its importance in cellular function.
Pathways
Ribonucleotide reductase and RRM2 participate significantly in the DNA synthesis and repair pathway. It is pivotal for maintaining DNA fidelity during replication. RRM2 actions relate to pathways involving other DNA replication proteins such as RRM1 and the replication factor C family. The synthesis pathway necessitates close cooperation between these proteins to ensure proper DNA replication and cell cycle progression.
Research has linked RRM2 to cancer and viral infections. Overexpression or mutations in the RRM2 gene may contribute to cancer development as seen in various tumor types indicating it as a potential target for cancer therapeutics. Moreover some viruses may hijack the host's RRM2 to facilitate their own replication. Targeting the RRM2 protein could potentially lead to novel treatment approaches in these diseases connecting it with other proteins like RRM1 which also share roles in tumor progression and viral replication.
