Function of Apollo (SNM1B) at telomere highlighted by a splice variant identified in a patient with Hoyeraal–Hreidarsson syndrome
17 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres, the protein-DNA complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are protected and regulated by the shelterin molecules, the telomerase complex, and other accessory factors, among which is Apollo, a DNA repair factor of the beta-lactamase/beta-CASP family. Impaired telomere protection in humans causes dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson (HH) syndrome, characterized by premature aging, bone...
