Acetylation Regulates WRN Catalytic Activities and Affects Base Excision DNA Repair
8 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Werner protein (WRN), defective in the premature aging disorder Werner syndrome, participates in a number of DNA metabolic processes, and we have been interested in the possible regulation of its function in DNA repair by post-translational modifications. Acetylation mediated by histone acetyltransferases is of key interest because of its potential importance in aging, DNA repair and...
