Abstract excerpt
RECQL4, a RecQ family helicase, is essential for DNA replication and genome stability. Mutations in RECQL4 cause severe human disorders yet we do not fully understand its functions, particularly regarding ATP-dependent helicase activity. To understand RECQL4's functions further, we performed a genome-wide forward genetic screen using a murine model harbouring patient-like RECQL4 mutations. We identify KLHDC3, a...
