Overview of Gene Research
Exo1, short for Exonuclease 1, is an evolutionarily conserved 5'-3' exonuclease. It plays a vital role in multiple genomic DNA metabolic pathways such as replication stress response, double strand break repair, mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair, and telomere maintenance [1,4,7]. These pathways are crucial for maintaining genomic stability, and Exo1's activity is tightly regulated to prevent excessive nucleolytic activity that could lead to genome instability [1].
In prostate cancer, EXO1 promotes tumor progression by regulating lipid metabolism reprogramming via the P53/SREBP1 axis [2]. In BRCA1-deficient cells, EXO1 is essential for protecting against toxic DNA lesions, as its deficiency leads to the accumulation of unresolved double-strand breaks and genomic instability. BRCA1-mutated tumors show elevated EXO1 expression [3,6]. Additionally, in the context of formaldehyde-induced DNA lesions, EXO1 knockout cell lines exhibit sensitivity, with the protein being recruited to chromatin to protect DNA replication forks after formaldehyde exposure [5].
In conclusion, Exo1 is a multi-functional nuclease essential for DNA metabolic pathways and genomic stability. Its role in diseases like prostate cancer and its significance in BRCA1-deficient tumors, as revealed by knockout-based studies, offer potential therapeutic targets. Understanding Exo1's functions can provide insights into disease mechanisms and new strategies for treatment.
