Kinase regulation of DNA polymerase alpha - primase (polα-primase) complex: Inference from decade-long global phosphoproteomes
DNA polymerase alpha - primase (polα-primase) complex is crucial for DNA replication, which is an association of catalytic (POLA1), regulatory (POLA2) and primase (PRIM1 and PRIM2) subunits. POLA1 extends the primers synthesized by the primase subunits, while POLA2 interacts with the replication factors including AND-1 and contributes to the assembly of replication machinery. This review presents a characterization of the kinase-mediated phosphoregulatory network regulating the polα-primase complex, with a specific focus on phosphorylation sites identified on POLA1. In addition, patterns of co-differential regulation among polα-primase subunits are discussed based on mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics data integration. The candidate upstream kinases potentially responsible for phosphorylating polα-primase complex are highlighted, drawing on current phosphorylation site–kinase mapping resources. These kinases modulate polα-primase complex activity in a site-specific manner, integrating its function into key cellular processes such as the DNA damage response, immune signaling, and oncogenic transformation. While substantial knowledge exists, particularly on global phosphoregulation, critical gaps remain especially in experimentally validated, site-specific functional studies of polα-primase complex phosphorylation. This review not only highlights key regulatory mechanisms but also paves the way for targeted investigations in the future, some of which are now actively being explored.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
