ATM pathway activation limits R-loop-associated genomic instability in Werner syndrome cells
11 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Werner syndrome (WS) is a cancer-prone disease caused by deficiency of Werner protein (WRN). WRN maintains genome integrity by promoting replication-fork stability after various forms of replication stress. Under mild replication stress, WS cells show impaired ATR-mediated CHK1 activation. However, it remains unclear if WS cells elicit other repair pathway. We demonstrate that loss of WRN leads to enhanced ATM...
