Telomeric protein TRF2 protects Holliday junctions with telomeric arms from displacement by the Werner syndrome helicase
9 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
WRN protein loss causes Werner syndrome (WS), which is characterized by premature aging as well as genomic and telomeric instability. WRN prevents telomere loss, but the telomeric protein complex must regulate WRN activities to prevent aberrant telomere processing. Telomere-binding TRF2 protein inhibits telomere t-loop deletion by blocking Holliday junction (HJ) resolvase cleavage activity, but whether TRF2 also...
