Vertebrate WRNIP1 and BLM are required for efficient maintenance of genome stability.

Abstract excerpt

Bloom syndrome (BS) is rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with chromosomal instability. The gene responsible for BS, BLM, encodes a protein belonging to the RecQ helicase family. Disruptions of the SGS1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which encodes the RecQ helicase homologue in the budding yeast, causes accelerated aging, and this phenotype is enhanced by the disruption of MGS1, the budding yeast...
