A role for WRN in telomere-based DNA damage responses
2 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and prevent them from being recognized as DNA breaks. We have shown that certain DNA damage responses induced during senescence and, at times of telomere uncapping, also can be induced by treatment of cells with small DNA oligonucleotides homologous to the telomere 3' single-strand overhang (T-oligos), implicating this overhang in generation of these telomere-based...
