Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, sporadic genetic disease caused by mutations in the nuclear lamin A gene. In most cases the mutation creates an efficient donor-splice site that generates an altered transcript encoding a truncated lamin A protein, progerin. In vitro studies ha...

ERCC1 is a DNA endonuclease participating in the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway. Its functionality is related to XPF; the two proteins work as a heterodimer to incise the 5 of a 30-mer that contains the damaged nucleotide and remove the fragment together with XPG. Apart from NER deficiency...

Wild type and sgs1 null yeast were grown under DNA damaging (with MMS) conditions or without treatment to log phase and their transcriptional profiles compared. The human aging diseases Werner and Bloom syndromes are a result of mutation of the WRN and BLM genes, respectively. The SGS1 gene of Sacch...

Cockayne syndrome is a segmental progeria most often caused by mutations in the CSB gene encoding a SWI/SNF-like ATPase required for transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR). Over 43 Mya before marmosets diverged from humans, a piggyBac3 (PGBD3) transposable element integrated into intron 5 of the CSB...

To investigate the cause of the premature aging features in the Ercc1-/- mouse, we compared the entire transcriptome of the Ercc1-/- mouse liver to that of wildtype littermates at the age of 15 days, when the Ercc1-/- mice reached their maximal weight and had symptoms of progeria, yet overall pathol...

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare disorder characterized by the premature onset of a number of age-related diseases. The gene responsible for WS is believed to be involved in different aspects of transcription, replication, and/or DNA repair. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) enzyme is also in...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a photosensitive, DNA repair disorder associated with progeria caused by a defect in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER). Here, complete inactivation of NER in Csbm/m/Xpa-/- mutants causes a phenotype that reliably mimics th...
