Telomere-binding Protein TRF2 Binds to and Stimulates the Werner and Bloom Syndrome Helicases
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome is a human premature aging disorder displaying cellular defects associated with telomere maintenance including genomic instability, premature senescence, and accelerated telomere erosion. The yeast homologue of the Werner protein (WRN), Sgs1, is required for recombination-mediated lengthening of telomeres in telomerase-deficient cells. In human cells, we report that WRN co-localizes and physically...
