Differential association of Orc1 and Sir2 proteins to telomeric domains in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>
4 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres have the capacity to recruit proteins that facilitate the spreading of heterochromatin into subtelomeric DNA regions. In the human protozoan pathogen Plasmodium falciparum, the telomere-associated protein Sir2 has been shown to control the silencing of members of virulence genes at some, but not all, chromosome-end loci, indicating that additional proteins are involved in telomere position effect. Here,...
