A novel form of the telomere-associated protein TIN2 localizes to the nuclear matrix
15 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are specialized heterochromatin at the ends of linear chromosomes. Telomeres are crucial for maintaining genome stability and play important roles in cellular senescence and tumor biology. Six core proteins-TRF1, TRF2, TIN2, POT1, TPP1 and Rap1 (termed the telosome or shelterin complex)-regulate telomere structure and function. One of these proteins, TIN2, regulates telomere length and structure...
