Distinct functions of TBP and TLF/TRF2 during spermatogenesis: requirement of TLF for heterochromatic chromocenter formation in haploid round spermatids
15 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
TLF (TBP-like factor) is a protein commonly thought to belong to the general transcription initiation complex. TLF is evolutionarily conserved and has been shown to be essential for early development in C. elegans, zebrafish and Xenopus. In mammals however, TLF has a specialised function, as revealed by targeted mutation of the gene in the mouse germline. The TLF mutation elicits a complete arrest of late...
