Abstract excerpt
Exonuclease-1 (EXO1) mediates checkpoint induction in response to telomere dysfunction in yeast, but it is unknown whether EXO1 has similar functions in mammalian cells. Here we show that deletion of the nuclease domain of Exo1 reduces accumulation of DNA damage and DNA damage signal induction in telomere-dysfunctional mice. Exo1 deletion improved organ maintenance and lifespan of telomere-dysfunctional mice but...
