Replication protein A 70 kDa DNA-binding subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPA1 gene. This gene is mapped to chromosome 17p13.3. Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric single-strand DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein essential for DNA replication, repair, and recombination. It is composed of 70-kD (RPA1), 32-kD (RPA2), and 14-kD (RPA3) subunits. The RPA1 subunit is responsible for high-affinity ssDNA binding. The RPA complex was originally isolated as a factor essential for in vitro replication of the papovavirus SV40. It had been found that recombinant human RPA1, purified from bacteria, exhibited ssDNA-binding activity comparable to that of the complete RPA complex. RPA1 could substitute for the complete complex in stimulating the activity of DNA polymerase alpha-primase, but it could not substitute for the complete complex in SV40 DNA replication in vitro, suggesting an important functional role for the other subunits.
