Function

Multifunctional enzyme that has both magnesium and ATP- dependent DNA-helicase activity and 3'->5' exonuclease activity towards double-stranded DNA with a 5'-overhang. Has no nuclease activity towards single-stranded DNA or blunt-ended double- stranded DNA. Binds preferentially to DNA substrates containing alternate secondary structures, such as replication forks and Holliday junctions. May play an important role in the dissociation of joint DNA molecules that can arise as products of homologous recombination, at stalled replication forks or during DNA repair. Alleviates stalling of DNA polymerases at the site of DNA lesions. Important for genomic integrity. Plays a role in the formation of DNA replication focal centers; stably associates with foci elements generating binding sites for RP-A (By similarity). Plays a role in double-strand break repair after gamma-irradiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed:9618508}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Gamma-irradiation leads to its translocation from nucleoli to nucleoplasm and PML regulates the irradiation- induced WRN relocation. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed ubiquitously in most organs at a low level, highly expressed in testis, ovary and spleen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10757812, ECO:0000269PubMed:9143515}.
