Helicases- enzymes which break downhydrogen bonds between nucleic acid strands in a nucleosidetriphosphate-dependent manner-are ubiquitous in biology, participatingin processes as diverse as replication, repair, recombination,transcription, and translation. The RecQ-family helicases are a groupof helicases which have important roles in the maintenance of genomicstability in many organisms. In humans, mutations in three RecQ-familyhelicases lead to disease. This book thoroughly examines thesehelicases. Mutations in the BLM gene lead to Bloom syndrome, adisorder characterized by a susceptibility to many types of cancer.Mutations in the WRN gene cause Werner syndrome, a disease which insome respects resembles premature aging. Finally, mutations in a newlycharacterized RecQ-family member, RECQ4, may lead to the very rarerecessive disorder Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, a conditioncharacterized by developmental abnormalities and some aging-likemanifestations. This book is intended for any researchers invested inthese particular disorders, or | Pindex | Book 2001 |
