TRF2 Controls Telomeric Nucleosome Organization in a Cell Cycle Phase-Dependent Manner
20 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian telomeres stabilize chromosome ends as a result of their assembly into a peculiar form of chromatin comprising a complex of non-histone proteins named shelterin. TRF2, one of the shelterin components, binds to the duplex part of telomeric DNA and is essential to fold the telomeric chromatin into a protective cap. Although most of the human telomeric DNA is organized into tightly spaced nucleosomes,...
