Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA helicase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of sister chromatid cohesion; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Harderian gland; alimentary system; immune system; male reproductive gland or organ; and nervous system. Used to study Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Baller-Gerold syndrome; Rothmund-Thomson syndrome; and rapadilino syndrome. Orthologous to human RECQL4 (RecQ like helicase 4).

Comparison of the fertility of tumor suppressor gene-deficient C57BL/6 mouse strains reveals stable reproductive aging and novel pleiotropic gene.
Title: Comparison of the fertility of tumor suppressor gene-deficient C57BL/6 mouse strains reveals stable reproductive aging and novel pleiotropic gene.
Study has demonstrated the ATP-dependent helicase activity of Recql4 is not physiologically essential for murine embryonic development or adult homeostasis, cellular replication and physiological DNA damage repair. However, mutations that create truncating proteins are not tolerated.
Title: ATP-dependent helicase activity is dispensable for the physiological functions of Recql4.
RECQL4 is essential for normal bone development. Animals with no Recql4 in bone cells did not develop osteosarcoma.
Title: The DNA helicase recql4 is required for normal osteoblast expansion and osteosarcoma formation.
findings show that RECQL4 is critical for skeletal development by modulating p53 activity in vivo.
Title: RECQL4 Regulates p53 Function In Vivo During Skeletogenesis.
data indicate that RECQL4 participates in DNA replication rather than genome stability and identify RECQL4 as a regulator of hematopoiesis with a nonredundant role compared with other RecQ helicases
Title: The Rothmund-Thomson syndrome helicase RECQL4 is essential for hematopoiesis.
dysfunction of RECQL4 increases DNA damage and triggers premature senescence in both human and mouse cells, which may contribute to Rothmund-Thomson syndrome features in mice.
Title: Senescence induced by RECQL4 dysfunction contributes to Rothmund-Thomson syndrome features in mice.
Elevated expression of RECQL4 accompanies progression of the Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome into osteosarcoma in humans and mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
