BLM Helicase Facilitates Mus81 Endonuclease Activity in Human Cells

Abstract excerpt

Bloom syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disorder in humans. The product of the Bloom syndrome mutated gene, designated BLM, is a member of the RecQ helicase family. BLM has been proposed to function at the interface of replication and recombination, and to facilitate the repair of DNA damage. Here, we report in vivo physical interaction and colocalization of BLM and a DNA structure-specific...
