Mammalian RNase H2 removes ribonucleotides from DNA to maintain genome integrity
16 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleases H (RNases H) are endonucleases which cleave the RNA moiety of RNA/DNA hybrids. Their function in mammalian cells is incompletely understood. RNase H2 mutations cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, an inflammatory condition clinically overlapping with lupus erythematosus. We show that RNase H2 is essential in mouse embryonic development. RNase H2-deficient cells proliferated slower than control cells...
