Induction of a p95/Nbs1‐mediated S phase checkpoint by telomere 3′ overhang specific DNA
28 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Telomere shortening induces a nonproliferative senescent phenotype, believed to reduce cancer risk, and telomeres are involved in a poorly understood manner in responses to DNA damage. Although telomere disruption induces p53 and triggers apoptosis or cell cycle arrest, the features of the disrupted telomere that trigger this response and the precise mechanism involved are poorly understood. Using human cells, we...
