Separation of telomere protection from length regulation by two different point mutations at amino acid 492 of RTEL1
2024-02-29
Abstract excerpt
RTEL1 is an essential DNA helicase that plays multiple roles in genome stability and telomere length regulation. A variant of RTEL1 with a lysine at position 492 is associated with short telomeres in Mus spretus , while a conserved methionine at this position is found in M. musculus , which has ultra-long telomeres. In humans, a missense mutation at this position ( Rtel1 M492I ) causes a fatal telomere biology...
