Abstract excerpt
Pontin, a member of the AAA+ ATPase family, plays important roles in a variety of cellular processes, including transcription regulation, DNA damage response, telomerase activity, and cellular transformation. In the previous studies, Pontin deletion in mice was lethal to embryos. Here, we demonstrate that the depletion of Pontin induced cellular senescence in mouse and human fibroblasts as well as in mouse...
