DNA damage and repair genes upregulated in Spalax liver as compared to rat. N = 18 genes from the Fanconi Anemia (FA) pathway were transcriptionally upregulated in normoxic Spalax liver, as indicated by the colour chart (prepared using Advaita Bio’s iPathwayGuide; http://www.advaitabio.com/ipathwayguide.html). Note that both, the major activator of this pathway, ATR, and its downstream interacting partner, the helicase WRN are overexpressed on the RNA level in Spalax versus rat liver. The same tendency was shown by RPA, which stimulates the helicase and exonuclease activity of WRN, and by FEN1, which complexes WRN to adjust stalled replication forks.
