Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionwrn-1 encodes an ortholog of human WRN, and one of four C. elegans homologs of the RecQ DNA helicase family, that includes E. coli RecQ; by homology, WRN-1 is predicted to function as a helicase, DNA-dependent ATPase, and exonuclease that plays a key role in DNA replication, recombination, and repair; RNA interference studies in C. elegans and the enhancement of many of the resulting phenotypes by ionizing radiation indicate that wrn-1 affects life span and aging and acts at a DNA damage checkpoint; the wrn-1 phenotypes such as premature aging are similar to those of Werner syndrome; immunolocalization studies indicate that WRN-1 expression is nuclear in cells at the embryonic, larval and adult stages.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionEnables 3'-5' DNA helicase activity. Involved in DNA metabolic process; determination of adult lifespan; and response to ionizing radiation. Located in nucleoplasm and site of double-strand break. Expressed in several structures, including AWCL; AWCR; and germ line. Used to study Werner syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Werner syndrome; diffuse scleroderma; and senile cataract. Is an ortholog of human WRN (WRN RecQ like helicase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn humans, mutations in RecQ Protein-like 2 (RECQL2, also called RECQ3 or WRN) are implicated in Werner Syndrome, a human autosomal recessive aging disorder, characterized by genomic instability and the premature onset of several age-related diseases; WRN contains both a exonuclease and helicase activity and is involved in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance; in elegans, which is used as a model system to study wrn-1 function, knockdown of wrn-1/WRN shortens lifespan, increases sensitivity to DNA damage and accelerates aging phenotypes; further studies in elegans and mice indicate that in wrn-1 mutant animals the microRNA miR-124 is significantly reduced; mir-124 mutants in elegans show reduced lifespan, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduction in ATP levels; double mutants of mir-124 and wrn-1 showed further reduction in lifespan and ATP levels, and increased ROS generation.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00041652

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
