Abstract excerpt
The human telomere binding protein hPot1 binds to the most distal single-stranded extension of telomeric DNA in vitro, and probably in vivo, as well as associating with the double-stranded telomeric DNA binding proteins TRF1 and TRF2 through the bridging proteins PTOP (also known as PIP1 or TINT1) and TIN2. Disrupting either the DNA binding activity of hPot1 or its association with PTOP results in elongated...
