Coordinate Action of the Helicase and 3′ to 5′ Exonuclease of Werner Syndrome Protein
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome is a human disorder characterized by premature aging, genomic instability, and abnormal telomere metabolism. The Werner syndrome protein (WRN) is the only known member of the RecQ DNA helicase family that contains a 3' --> 5'-exonuclease. However, it is not known whether both activities coordinate in a biological pathway. Here, we describe DNA structures, forked duplexes containing telomeric...
