DNA聚合酶θ抑制剂的研究进展

Research Progress of DNA Polymerase θ Inhibitors

  • 摘要: DNA聚合酶θ(DNA polymerase θ,Pol θ)作为目前已知的唯一同时具备解旋酶活性和聚合酶活性的真核生物DNA聚合酶,在修复DNA双链断裂(double strand break,DSB)的微同源性介导的末端连接(microhomology-mediated end joining,MMEJ)途径中发挥重要作用。近年来,Pol θ在同源重组缺陷(homologous recombination deficiency,HRD)肿瘤中的合成致死效应引起了广泛关注,成为国内外多家制药公司重点研发的抗癌靶点之一。通过对Pol θ蛋白的结构、功能以及小分子抑制剂的最新研究进展进行综述,有利于进一步开发更高效、更具特异性的Pol θ靶向抑制剂,用于HRD肿瘤的精准治疗。

     

    Abstract: DNA polymerase θ (Pol θ), the only eukaryotic DNA polymerase currently known to possess both helicase and polymerase activities, plays a crucial role in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway-microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ). The synthetic lethality of Pol θ in homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) tumors has garnered significant attention in recent years. And Pol θ has become one of the pivotal anticancer targets in the research and development of numerous domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies. This paper systematically reviews the structure and function of Pol θ protein and the latest research progress of small-molecule inhibitors, which is beneficial for further development of more efficient and specific Pol θ-targeted inhibitors for precision treatment of HRD tumors.
