Background: PIF1

PIF1 (pre-implantation factor, PIF1 5'-to-3' DNA helicase homolog, PIF, PIF1/RRM3 DNA helicase-like protein, C15orf20) is a member of the helicase family associated with embryo association with the uterus. PIF1 is also a DNA dependent ATPase that negatively regulates telomerase, the reverse transcriptase that affects telomere length (PMID 16522649). PIF1 is expressed in the nucleus in the late S/G2 phase and is carefully regulated by the cell cycle. In human tumor cells, the deletion of the PIF1 gene reduces the survival of both the p53-deficient and p53-proficient cells by initiating apoptosis by blocking S-phase entry and progression (PMID 21616935). Acting as a G4 resolvase, PIF1 prevents the formation of G4 (G-quadruplex) structures by stabilizing DNA sequences (PMID 20524933).
