Despite being the first homolog of bacterial RecQ helicase to be identified in humans, function RECQL1 remains poorly characterized. Furthermore, unlike other members human RECQ family helicases, mutations have not been associated with a genetic disease. Here, we identify 2 families genome instability disorder that named RECON (RECql ONe) syndrome, caused by biallelic RECQL gene. The affected individuals had short stature, progeroid facial features, hypoplastic nose, xeroderma, and skin...

Accurate genome replication is essential for all life and a key mechanism of disease prevention, underpinned by the ability cells to respond replicative stress (RS) protect forks. These responses rely on formation Replication Protein A (RPA)-single stranded (ss) DNA complexes, yet this process remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we establish that actin nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs) associate with forks, promote efficient facilitate association RPA ssDNA at sites RS. Accordingly,...

Abstract Accurate genome replication is essential for all life and a key mechanism of disease prevention, underpinned by the ability cells to respond replicative stress protect stalled forks. All such responses rely on formation Replication Protein A (RPA)-ssDNA complexes, yet supra-physiological binding RPA ssDNA toxic. How regulate availability promote fork protection stability largely unknown. Here we establish that during excess sequestered monomeric actin released upon through...
