Local G-quadruplexes are not a major determinant of altered gene expression in BLM-deficient cells
2023-09-08
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Blm gene can cause Bloom Syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by genome instability and cancer predisposition. Blm encodes a helicase which was reported to resolve G-quadruplex DNA structures in vitro . The G-quadruplex resolving activity of the BLM helicase has been previously implicated in altering gene expression. However, the exact mechanisms of how G-quadruplex structures may affect...
