Telomestatin-induced Telomere Uncapping Is Modulated by POT1 through G-overhang Extension in HT1080 Human Tumor Cells
19 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Telomestatin is a potent G-quadruplex ligand that interacts with the 3' telomeric overhang, leading to its degradation, and induces a delayed senescence and apoptosis of cancer cells. POT1 and TRF2 were recently identified as specific telomere-binding proteins involved in telomere capping and t-loop maintenance and whose interaction with telomeres is modulated by telomestatin. We show here that the treatment of...
