Replication fork stalling in WRN-deficient cells is overcome by prompt activation of a MUS81-dependent pathway
13 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Failure to stabilize and properly process stalled replication forks results in chromosome instability, which is a hallmark of cancer cells and several human genetic conditions that are characterized by cancer predisposition. Loss of WRN, a RecQ-like enzyme mutated in the cancer-prone disease Werner syndrome (WS), leads to rapid accumulation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen...
