Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene SGS1 encodes a DNA helicase that shows homology to the Escherichia coli protein RecQ and the products of the BLM and WRN genes in humans, which are defective in Bloom's and Werner's syndrome, respectively. Recently, it has been proposed that this helicase is involved in maintaining the integrity of the rDNA and that loss of Sgs1 function leads to accelerated aging. Sgs1 has been...
