A C-terminal Myb Extension Domain Defines a Novel Family of Double-strand Telomeric DNA-binding Proteins in Arabidopsis
11 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the protein composition of plant telomeres. We queried the Arabidopsis thaliana genome data base in search of genes with similarity to the human telomere proteins hTRF1 and hTRF2. hTRF1/hTRF2 are distinguished by the presence of a single Myb-like domain in their C terminus that is required for telomeric DNA binding in vitro. Twelve Arabidopsis genes fitting this criterion, dubbed TRF-like...
