Suppression of the DHX9 Helicase Induces Premature Senescence in Human Diploid Fibroblasts in a p53-dependent Manner
3 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
DHX9 is an ATP-dependent DEXH box helicase with a multitude of cellular functions. Its ability to unwind both DNA and RNA, as well as aberrant, noncanonical polynucleotide structures, has implicated it in transcriptional and translational regulation, DNA replication and repair, and maintenance of genome stability. We report that loss of DHX9 in primary human fibroblasts results in premature senescence, a state of...
