Terminin: A protein complex that mediates epigenetic maintenance of<i>Drosophila</i>telomeres
1 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
In most organisms, telomeres are extended by telomerase and contain GC-rich repeats. Drosophila telomeres are elongated by occasional transposition of specialized retroelements rather than telomerase activity, and are assembled independently of the sequence of the DNA termini. Recent work has shown that Drosophila telomeres are capped by a complex, we call terminin, which includes HOAP, HipHop, Moi and Ver; these...
