RECQL4
RecQ protein-like 4
DNA helicase, promotes ATP-dependent DNA unwinding [Pubmed]; plays primary role in DNA replication initiation [Pubmed]
|
role in cancer | TSG, oncogene |
|---|---|---|
|
cell division control | depletion reduces origin firing efficiency, and suppresses cell proliferation [Pubmed] |
|
types of alteration in cancer | amplification and high expression is associated with increased in vitro clonogenic survival and in vivo tumorigenicity in breast cancer [Pubmed]; amplified or overexpressed in breast cancer MDA-MB453 cell line [Pubmed] |
genome instability and mutations
required for the efficient removal of UV lesions by NER [Pubmed]; regulates both directly and indirectly base excision repair capacity [Pubmed]; preserves mitochondrial DNA integrity [Pubmed]; participates in the NHEJ pathway of DSB repair via a functional interaction with the Ku70/Ku80 complex [Pubmed]
escaping programmed cell death
KD leads to increased poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) synthesis and induction of PARP-dependent apoptosis in prostate cancer [Pubmed]; physically interacts with a major survival factor-survivin and its protein level affects survivin expression, KD significantly inhibits the in vitro clonogenic survival and in vivo tumourigenicity in breast cancer MDA-MB453 cell line [Pubmed]
invasion and metastasis
KD reduces their cell invasiveness in vitro and tumorigenicity in vivo in prostate cancer [Pubmed]
