Ribonuclease H2 subunit A also known as RNASEH2A is one part of the RNase H2 enzyme complex. This protein weighs approximately 33 kilodaltons and plays an important role in RNA-DNA hybrid processing. RNASEH2A operates by cleaving the RNA strand of RNA-DNA hybrids which is necessary for maintaining genome stability. The protein expresses in a variety of tissues. Importantly it is found in high levels in cells with rapid division like embryonic and stem cells.
Biological function summary
RNASEH2A facilitates the removal of ribonucleotides from DNA which helps in DNA replication and repair. As a part of the RNase H2 complex alongside subunits B and C it ensures the correct removal of embedded ribonucleotides from DNA strands. This process is important for maintaining the integrity of the genome and preventing mutations. The activity of RNASEH2A directly impacts DNA replication fidelity and overall genome stability.
Pathways
RNASEH2A plays an important role in the maintenance of genome integrity and the DNA repair pathway. It directly interacts with the process of ribonucleotide excision repair which prevents genomic instability. RNASEH2A works alongside enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair mechanisms like DNA polymerases to correct DNA strands. The collaboration of these proteins ensures the accuracy of genomic information passed during cell division.
RNASEH2A is associated with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome a severe neurodevelopmental disorder. This syndrome results from mutations in any of the RNase H2 subunits including RNASEH2A leading to accumulated DNA damage and a chronic interferon response. Another condition linked to malfunctions in this protein is systemic lupus erythematosus where an abnormal immune response attacks the body's own cells. Both conditions connect RNASEH2A with the regulation of immune responses and highlight its role in preventing inappropriate autoimmunity.
