Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by multiple progeroid features. The gene responsible for WS, WRN, is a member of the human RecQ helicase family. WRN is unique among this family, associated with an exonuclease activity. In the present study, we established the human 293-derived cell lines, which expressed exogenously truncated WRN protein, lacking the N-terminal exonuclease...
