Replication Protein A Stimulates the Werner Syndrome Protein Branch Migration Activity
8 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Loss of the RecQ DNA helicase WRN protein causes Werner syndrome, in which patients exhibit features of premature aging and increased cancer. WRN deficiency induces cellular defects in DNA replication, mitotic homologous recombination (HR), and telomere stability. In addition to DNA unwinding activity, WRN also possesses exonuclease, strand annealing, and branch migration activities. The single strand binding...
