Abstract excerpt
Mutations in several DExH-containing DNA helicases, including XPD, XPB, WRN, and BLM, are associated with rare familial cancer syndromes characterized by genomic instability and cancer susceptibility. Known cellular activities of these helicases include DNA replication, repair, recombination, and/or transcription. The p53 tumor suppressor is a regulator of cellular responses to stress, and is biochemically...
