Protein FULL name: DNA polymerase subunit gamma-1 [Homo sapiens].
POLG (Homo sapiens) is product of expression of
POLG
gene.
Human diseases related to this protein:
Keywords:
FUNCTION: Involved in the replication of mitochondrial DNA.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) =
diphosphate + DNA(n+1).
COFACTOR: Magnesium.
SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer composed of a catalytic subunit and an
homodimer of accessory subunits.
INTERACTION:
Q9UHN1:POLG2; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-852624, EBI-852642;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion.
POLYMORPHISM: The poly-Gln region seems to be polymorphic.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are the cause of progressive external
ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions autosomal
dominant type 1 (PEOA1) [MIM:157640]. Progressive external
ophthalmoplegia is characterized by progressive weakness of ocular
muscles and levator muscle of the upper eyelid. In a minority of
cases, it is associated with skeletal myopathy, which
predominantly involves axial or proximal muscles and which causes
abnormal fatigability and even permanent muscle weakness. Ragged-
red fibers and atrophy are found on muscle biopsy. A large
proportion of chronic ophthalmoplegias are associated with other
symptoms, leading to a multisystemic pattern of this disease.
Additional symptoms are variable, and may include cataracts,
hearing loss, sensory axonal neuropathy, ataxia, depression,
hypogonadism, and parkinsonism.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are a cause of progressive external
ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions autosomal
recessive (PEOB) [MIM:258450]. PEOB is a severe form of
progressive external ophthalmoplegia. It is clinically more
heterogeneous than the autosomal dominant forms. Can be more
severe.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are a cause of sensory ataxic neuropathy
dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO) [MIM:607459]. SANDO is a
clinically heterogeneous systemic disorder with variable features
resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction. It shares phenotypic
characteristics with autosomal recessive progressive external
ophthalmoplegia and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal
encephalopathy syndrome. The clinical triad of symptoms consists
of sensory ataxic, neuropathy, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are a cause of Alpers-Huttenlocher
syndrome (AHS) [MIM:203700]; also called Alpers diffuse
degeneration of cerebral gray matter with hepatic cirrhosis. AHS
is an autosomal recessive hepatocerebral syndrome. The typical
course of AHS includes severe developmental delay, intractable
seizures, liver failure, and death in childhood. Refractory
seizures, cortical blindness, progressive liver dysfunction, and
acute liver failure after exposure to valproic acid are considered
diagnostic features. The neuropathological hallmarks of AHS are
neuronal loss, spongiform degeneration, and astrocytosis of the
visual cortex. Liver biopsy results show steatosis, often
progressing to cirrhosis.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are a cause of mitochondrial
neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE)
[MIM:603041]; also known as myoneurogastrointestinal
encephalomyopathy. MNGIE is an autosomal recessive disease
associated with multiple deletions of skeletal muscle
mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA). It is clinically characterized by onset
between the second and fifth decades of life, ptosis, progressive
external ophthalmoplegia, gastrointestinal dysmotility (often
pseudoobstruction), diffuse leukoencephalopathy, thin body
habitus, peripheral neuropathy, and myopathy.
DISEASE: Defects in POLG are a cause of Leigh syndrome (LS)
[MIM:256000]. LS is a severe neurological disorder characterized
by bilaterally symmetrical necrotic lesions in subcortical brain
regions.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DNA polymerase type-A family.
