p53 Modulates RPA-Dependent and RPA-Independent WRN Helicase Activity
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome is a hereditary disorder characterized by the early onset of age-related symptoms, including cancer. The absence of a p53-WRN helicase interaction may disrupt the signal to direct S-phase cells into apoptosis for programmed cell death and contribute to the pronounced genomic instability and cancer predisposition in Werner syndrome cells. Results from coimmunoprecipitation studies indicate that WRN...
