POLD4
POLD4 (DNA polymerase delta subunit 4) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a DNA repair gene, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Lung cancer and 5 more.
Overview
As a component of the tetrameric DNA polymerase delta complex (Pol-delta4), plays a role in high fidelity genome replication and repair. Within this complex, increases the rate of DNA synthesis and decreases fidelity by regulating POLD1 polymerase and proofreading 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Pol-delta4 participates in Okazaki fragment processing, through both the short flap pathway, as well as a nick translation system.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.63 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.90, genetic association 0.00, clinical 0.99).

Biology
As a component of the tetrameric DNA polymerase delta complex (Pol-delta4), plays a role in high fidelity genome replication and repair. Within this complex, increases the rate of DNA synthesis and decreases fidelity by regulating POLD1 polymerase and proofreading 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Pol-delta4 participates in Okazaki fragment processing, through both the short flap pathway, as well as a nick translation system. Under conditions of DNA replication stress, required for the repair of broken replication forks through break-induced replication (BIR), a mechanism that may induce segmental genomic duplications of up to 200 kb. Involved in Pol-delta4 translesion synthesis (TLS) of templates carrying O6-methylguanine or abasic sites. Its degradation in response to DNA damage is required for the inhibition of fork progression and cell survival. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 11q13.2 (HGNC).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: Open Targets known-drug datatype score 0.99; UniProt keyword "DNA repair". Evidence tier "approved-drug" is the strongest of those signals.
