Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sgs1 protein, together with Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rqh1 and the human Bloom and Werner proteins, is a DNA helicase of the Escherichia coli RecQ family. Mutation of SGS1 causes premature aging in yeast cells, including the accumulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles. We have recently shown that Sgs1p interacts with the DNA repair Rad16p protein and is epistatic to Rad16p for UVC,...
