Structural mechanisms of human RecQ helicases WRN and BLM
The RecQ family DNA helicases WRN (Werner syndrome protein) and BLM (Bloom syndrome protein) play a key role in protecting the genome against deleterious changes. In humans, mutations in these proteins lead to rare genetic diseases associated with cancer predisposition and accelerated aging. WRN and...
